dOES dIABETIES SKIP A GENERATION IN FAMILY.
There are different forms of diabetes and both genes and environmental factors contribute differently to the risk of diabetes in family members of a person with the disease. That means some people with diabetes will have no family members with the disease, some may have just a few relatives that would show up as "skipping a generation" and some may have a high frequency of diabetes among relatives. This applies to all inherited forms of diabetes. However, Type 1 diabetes demonstrates a less strong inheritance pattern than type 2 diabetes and therefore is more likely to show up as skipping a generation.
