[Dr_Pallavi]

BOTH. In a simple word Diabetes is a endocrine disorder due to which the Pancreas stop secreting Insulin as a result the Blood Glucose Level increases.

Heredity & Family history is very common among the diabetic population but it can happen otherwise also. Some factors that are responsible are Obesity, Hypertension, Stress, Pregnancy ( in case of female), unhealthy life style, lack of physical activity, other systematic disease or very rare case accidental injury affecting Pancreatic function.
