Abstract

In 1972, a handful of pediatricians met at the Paris home of the pediatrician Henri Lestradet to resolve that henceforth the care and advocacy of childhood diabetes should lie with pediatric specialists, rather than adult diabetologists. In 1974, the first scientific meeting of the then ‘International Study Group on Diabetes in Children and Adolescents (ISGD)’ took place. The name of the society changed in 1993 to the ‘International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD)’, and in October 2013 more than 1450 specialists in pediatric diabetes from over 80 countries attended the largest ever meeting of ISPAD in Gothenburg, Sweden.
