“…In addition, although guidelines for the assessment of youth mental health suggest using multiple informant evaluations [47], most of the studies in this review assessed offspring outcomes with self-report from parents, teachers or other medical professionals, and neglected youth self-report. Furthermore, three of the included studies were conducted in the 1980's and may not reflect the current status of psychosocial adjustment of offspring living with parental type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially in view of the recent rapid developments in diabetes management [48]. Nonetheless, this review highlights an overall trend for young offspring of parents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to be susceptible to negative psychosocial outcomes which is in line with the broader literature on youth of parents with chronic illnesses [4][5][6][7][8] and research on family members of adults with diabetes [15,16].…”

What's new?• Although diabetes like other serious medical conditions impacts family members, with young offspring being particularly vulnerable, this review identified only 10 studies which met inclusion criteria that examined the adjustment of youth to parental type 1 and type 2 diabetes.• This is the first systematic review of research on the psychosocial outcomes in youth of parents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It identified research gaps and methodological issues to be addressed by future studies in this field.• In view of the dearth of research in this area, it is not possible to draw robust evidenced-based conclusions about young offspring psychosocial adjustment to parental diabetes. However, there was weak evidence suggesting some youth are at risk of adjustment difficulties in the context of parental diabetes, which warrants the attention of future research.
