Yes, there is a genetic predisposition at play. BMC Med 22 , 114 (2024). But I am saying that even if you have developed type 2 diabetes, which is a major driver of risk, there is still a huge amount that can be done to reduce future risk. But why wait? For sure. ( I know because I have some of those genes ). They set the odds.
