Yes definately his risk of getting diabetes is more than compared to person whose parents don't have diabetes..
Ideally nowadays it's more of unhealthy lifestyles,poor physical activity and sedentary lifestyle..
With good healthy food and regular exercise he can reduce his risk for the same and postpone the disease
So relax and do not worry about future but actively work in present
