Genetics & Diabetes : What's Your Risk? For the average American, the chance of developing type 1 diabetes by age 70 years is 1 in 100 (1 percent), while the corresponding chances of getting type 2 diabetes are at 1 in 9 (11 percent).Knowing what the odds are is one thing; but one can still get the disease even if he or she is not at apparent high risk. If one of the parents developed type 1 diabetes before age 11, their child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes is somewhat higher than these figures and lower if the parent was diagnosed after their 11th birthday. 2  About 1 in 7 people with type 1 has a condition known as type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome.
