The Causes of Type 2 Diabetes: The exact cause of type 2 diabetes is unknown, although it is likely that many contributing factors result in type 2 diabetes. It can run in families, but the single genetic factor that causes it has not been found. Obese people are more likely to develop type two diabetes than skinny people.

Below is a flow diagram that lists some suspected contributing factors of type two diabetes.
