Call your family doctor and ask if he/she can run a 'diabetes genetics tes'. If he/she is unsure about the test or isn't equipped to do so ask to be referred to an Endocrinologist [a diabetes specialist]. This test will reveal if you inherited your father's diabetes gene. While there, get an A1c test to see where you currently stand. Good luck.

Knowledge is power when it comes to our health!  You may be pre-disposed to diabetes but with the proper diet, and exercise you may be able to keep it at bay. You may want to consult with a geneticist about this and go from there.
