At the recent ISPAD meeting in Montreal, there was a notion canvassed at one of the satellite symposia - “time in happiness”. It was the first time I had heard of it, but it appears that, as with most things, I am late to the party. This idea was actually put forward over a year ago by Kamil Armaki, a well-known patient advocate from the UK. It is an apt and powerful idea, but of course, it begs the question, “What is happiness?”
