to me thats like asking "what group of women will become only partially pregnant"? the reason I say this is that is the rare case that diabetes will reverse itself. It only gets worse over time. so at the onset...or start of the disease it can be controlled by pills...then if eating and exercise aren't working to control blood sugar levels along with the meds... insulin has to be introduced to bring down the high levels. Hopes this helps

If there's type 2 in your family, you are at risk for developing it. Type 2 is more hereditary than type 1. If you are predisposed, but pay good attention to your health (eat right, exercise, etc) you are less likely to develop type 2 than a brother/sister who may also be predisposed but eats junk and never gets of the couch. People are surprised at the growing number of type 2 diagnoses, and puzzled by its diagnosis in kids. Fact is, it's always been around, Americans just got wayyy lazier. We live in a world of fast food, remote control and video games. Pre-disposition is there or it's not, but it doesn't have to evolve into the disease. That's not to say you WONT get type 2 even if you do everything right. It's just far less likely.
