Print The Hvidøre Study Group on Childhood Diabetes evolved in 1994 during a workshop to discuss strategies that could be important in improving the quality of paediatric diabetes care.

The name is taken from the house in which the annual meetings are held. Hvidøre is a stately country mansion, which for 50 years was used as the Novo diabetes hospital. It is now a training and conference centre owned by Novo Nordisk A/S, which works in partnership with the study group.
