What type of human inheritance is type II diabetes?

what type of human inheritance is type II diabetes? is it:
autosomal dominant
autosomal recessive
x linked dominant
x linked recessive
y linked inheritance
mitochondrial inheritance

Normally, genetic studies are conducted by a classical linkage analysis using an LOD (Logarithm of Odds) score. This type of pedigreed, generational study works well if the disease is an autosomal dominant, recessive disorder. A study of this kind focuses on a particular gene locus to see if it tracks or co-segregates with the disease.

The problem with diabetes is that, even if the exact same mutation caused it in everyone, it would look different from person to person and family to family, depending on environmental influences, the genetic background it's laid upon, and modifier genes. Its expression would be variable.Furthermore, studies have shown that diabetes is not simple; it's genetically complex, involving multiple genes, and multiple gene-environment interactions.
