      Excellent question! Type II diabetes is a complex disorder which means there isn’t just one or a few genes controlling its development but a MIX of genes AND lifestyle factors like your diet! So its very hard to pin it down because what will you be looking for when doing a gene test? Different people can get it because of different reasons 🙂
