Welcome to the forums, Todd. I hope that your Thanksgiving weekend goes off without a hitch.
I think Andrea stated the possibilities (of developing Type II) pretty well. We'll keep you in our hearts and thoughts, and always feel free to PM or post, and we'll be glad to help in any way we can.

When a first degree family member (mother, father, brother, sister, children) has type 2 diabetes, your chance of getting it is about 40%. To that, you can add or subtract based on other risk factors. Genetics is a big risk in the development of type 2, but certainly no the only one.
In comparison, a first degree family member with type 1 gives you about a 3 to 8 % chance of developing type 1 also (depending on which family member).

One thing that's concerning to me is that my Hubby might develop Type II. His mom had it (along with hypertension), and we recently discovered he's already following in her "genetic footsteps" (he now has high blood pressure as well).
