This Council also includes the Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group (DPSG) of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, the Japanese Diabetes In pregnancy Study Group, the Canadian Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group, the Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group of India, the West Coast USA Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group along with a number of working and special interest groups within American Diabetes Association, European Association of Perinatal Medicine and the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine, USA.

The original vision to hold a scientific meeting every 4 years (the first having been in Cairns) has been expanded to include the establishment of committees to promote joint approaches to research, education and quality care/databases.
