Abstract		The history of diabetology in Slovenia, origins and development of an organized diabetic service for adults as well as the pidemiology of diabetes are presented. The pioneer of modern diabetology in Slovenia is Professor Ljudevit Merčun, who founded a separate department of diabetes and a specialist diabetic outpatient clinic. He is the author of a number of professional and popular articles and books concerning diabetes. The 10th meeting of Slovene and Croatian internists (Ljubljana,1963) and the general convention of the Slovene Medical ociety (Ptuj, 1979) represent important milestones in Slovene diabetology. The development of diabetology in Slovenia was directed by the Committee for Diabetes and the Endocrinological Association.
