There is no spreading epidemic. It’s not a communicable disease. For the most part you can’t be a Type II diabetic unless you have certain genes. If you don’t have those genes you will never become a Type II diabetic.

It is my understanding that there is a genetic predisposition but others without the genetic componant are still susceptable to the condition.
