I am 17 years old girl. My dad was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 at the age of 43. Is there any probability of inheriting diabetes type 2?

Yes, definitely. Type 2 diabetes can be inherited. But you can do a lot to prevent, or at least delay getting it. Lose weight (if you are overweight/ obese), exercise regularly & eat healthy.
