DISCOVERY of Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in Youth Study

Brief description of study

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a medical condition in which high blood sugars develop in the body. The DISCOVERY study team is doing this study to learn about things that put youth at risk for early onset of T2D. This study will help us develop future studies on how to prevent and treat youth-onset T2D. The DISCOVERY study will enroll and follow a large group of youth (about 3,600) at higher than average risk of developing T2D. They will be closely followed with measures that may predict the development of T2D as they go through puberty.
