Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have genetic links.  there is no certainty.

You dont say what type of diabetes your parents have.

With type 2 there is a higher genetic link than type 1.  Regardless you may or may not end up with diabetes.   However, for health, stay fit, avoid processed food, eat lower carb, and do monitor your health.  Diabetes can be well managed and not impact your life if caught in time.  Be proactive.  Enjoy your life.
