  Purpose of Review
  
  The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the recent body of evidence emerging for type2 diabetes as identified through the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study.
  
  Recent Findings
  
  This body of evidence illustrates that type 2 diabetes continues to increase in incidence, although this increase may be partially attributable to increased surveillance. Disease management is influenced by the transition from adolescent to adult care and psychosocial factors may also contribute. This evidence also describes a high prevalence of disease-associated complications and comorbidities. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are also highly prevalent.
  
  Summary
  
  The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study continues to inform our understanding of the descriptive epidemiology and natural history of type 2 diabetes in youth. As the cohort matures, new opportunities emerge for building on our understanding of how youth-onset type 2 diabetes impacts future health.
