There is certainly a genetic component to Type 1, but actually it is rather small. There is far more evidence that Type 2 diabetes, especially the subtype called "metabolic syndrome" is inheritable than for Type 1. The major difference, of course, is that a type 1 tends to get it far younger than type 2 would and type 1 is immediately life threatening while type 2 is not.
