Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (also called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes) is the most common form of diabetes.

T2d
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 0.94. This corresponds to a 23.6% lifetime risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which is 6% less than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 24 of every 100 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
T2d
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 25 of every 100 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
