Pediatric Endocrine Society of Kenya (PESK), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health Kenya and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), recently organized a comprehensive training program focused on Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) care in Mombasa, Kwale, and Taita Taveta counties. This initiative aimed to address challenges like misdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, management gaps, and associated acute and chronic complications of T1DM.
The training empowered healthcare professionals with specialized knowledge and skills crucial for improving diabetes care. Interactive workshops, case studies, and practical demonstrations provided insights into early detection methods, effective management strategies, and preventive measures for T1DM. Emphasis was also placed on multidisciplinary collaboration and patient education for optimizing diabetes care outcomes.
This initiative seeks to enhance diabetes care quality, reduce complications, and improve the well-being of T1DM individuals in coastal Kenya. Stay updated for the impact of this training on diabetes management and healthcare delivery.

Great initiative. Understanding the gaps we have in terms of diagnosis of type 1 DM is an eye opener. We need to be the greatest advocates of these children. They should not die under our watch.

Most children with type 1 diabetes present with acute complications at the time of initial diagnosis. Awareness and advocacy on early diagnosis is very key. All critically ill patients should have a screening blood glucose done. Together we can change the narrative.
