why would certain people have a tendency towards high blood sugar and diabetes?

i am very active and have a decent weight but i have now a high blood sugar level (or pre-diabetes). is this due primarily to genetics? I have some native american in my background which i know is a high risk group.

Yes, certain ethnic groups do have a higher genetic tendancy towards developing type 2 diabetes (such as native americans).

How do I know if the information on the American Diabetes Association website is correct and up-to-date?

www.diabetes.org

The ADA keeps their information current on their website. You can trust it, but don’t use their information as a substitute for seeing your healthcare practitioner regularly if you have diabetes as it is very important to be monitored by someone trained to treat it.
