There are two forms of diabetes. Type II diabetes is also known as late-onset diabetes because it typically affects adults. Consider the following information about Type II diabetes: Studies have shown that the lifetime risk for developing Type II diabetes is 40% for individuals who have one parent with Type II diabetes.
If a person has two parents with Type II diabetes their risk rises to 70%
Other factors that affect your risk for Type II diabetes include obesity, a sedentary lifestyle (not moving around much), a small or large birth weight, and stress.

Use the information above to answer the question: Is your risk of having Type II diabetes due to your genes, or due to the influence of the environment on your genes (epigenetics), or both?
