Default Can thin people get heart disease or diabetes?

Im 15 and I am in good health. For the past year, I have focussed all my attention toward acedemics, which means I have no time to exercise. Now, my sophomore and junior are yet to come, and I will have to put more towards the acedemic area.
Without exercise, I am worried if I would get heart problems or diabetes. What do you think? Till now, I am in perfect health. I am a bit underheight, and pretty thin (not anorexic of course).
My stomach is a wee bit fatty (not fat nor so stomachless), but I am pretty thin. Any suggestions?
I think I should add that I rarely eat food outside. Im vegeterian, and I intake much carbohydrates

While thinner people are at less of a risk of heart disease or diabetes, it does not disqualify them. If there is heart disease or diabetes in your family, you are at a much higher risk of it. Sometimes these conditions can be hereditary, sometimes they are brought on by outside factors. At your age you should be getting 30 minutes of active movement per day. I wouldn't worry about it at this point. If you are going for regular checkups with bloodwork, if anything is irregular, your doctor would let your parents know. I'm sure everything is fine or you would have heard.

No I think that at you age you shouldn't have any risk, but exercise its not only for physical health purposes but mental too. What I mean is that helps you to deal with the strees that you have at school. My suggestion, have a couple of basketball, tennis, soccer game a week, or walk when you can even if is just a couple of miles a week, eat properly, swim, play bowling, walk you dog twice a day or just go up and down in your stairs at home or at school, you will feel much relax and without the worries that you have now. Good luck, hope that it helps.

My dad had an ischemic stroke 2 months ago. He is a Type II diabetic also. Ever since his stroke, we've been monitoring his blood sugar level for him. In the last 3 days, he's been looking more tired. He's lost his energy when he tries to walk. We took him to the ER and the doctors said its probably low blood sugar that’s occurring over night. Is his body digesting the food really slow?
