My report says I'm 'high risk', does that mean I'll get the disease?

Short answer

No. 'High risk' means your genetic risk is above average compared to others, not that you will develop the condition. For most common diseases, lifestyle changes the real-world outcome significantly.

A risk score sums up many small genetic effects to place you above or below the average. It is a reason to pay attention and act, not a sentence. For conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, diet, movement, sleep, and weight respond strongly even in people with high genetic risk, often enough to roughly halve it. The honest framing: genes load the dice, your life rolls them.
