My mom and one of her brothers are type 2 (she has 2 other brothers without diabetes).

2 of my dad's sisters are type 2 (he has 6 other siblings without diabetes--yet).

I'm also just over 300 pounds. However, I was only 25 at diagnosis and am 26 now. My cousin (daughter of one of my aunts who has type 2) has always been heavier than me, less active than me, and is 5 years older than me (so she's been heavier for longer than me), yet she is not even pre-diabetic. Some of us are just lucky, I guess
