Option C shows the best way to follow up on the client's relatives having Type 2 diabetes by discussing preventive measures. The nurse can provide the client with strategies that can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes, such as engaging in physical activities, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight. This approach is more positive and empowering for the client rather than simply stating that the risk is high (option D) or using a fear-based approach (option B). Option A may be a good follow-up question to further assess the client's family history of diabetes, but it does not provide specific guidance or strategies for prevention.
