Both my husband and sister in law have type 1 diabetes. My husband develop type 1 diabetes when he was 5 years old, but his identical twin did not. His younger sister developed type 1 diabetes when she was 12 years old.

What are the odds of having diabetes if nobody in your immediate family is known to have it?

In other words, is it likely to have prediabetes or diabetes if nobody in your family has it?
While I’m at it, is prediabetes/diabetes common in teenagers?
