Answers:
It would depend what sort of diabetes your father and brother had. If it was type 1 then there is a chance that you will get it before adulthood. If your father was type 2 (adult onset) there is no heredtary element of that, its a disease of lifestyle rather than genes. Just because your brother has what I assume is type 1 that does not mean that you will get it.
