The Pediatric Endocrine Society of Kenya (PESK), in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Ministry of Health, is making significant strides in improving the lives of children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in Meru and Samburu County. This initiative addresses critical challenges such as missed diagnoses, inadequate management, and gaps in routine care.
PESK’s comprehensive training programs equip healthcare workers with the essential tools for effective T1DM management. Workshops, seminars, and hands-on sessions focus on:
- Early T1DM recognition: Prompt identification of symptoms for timely intervention.
- Optimized management strategies: Evidence-based approaches including insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
- Comprehensive care protocols: Holistic care encompassing medical treatment, psychosocial support, and patient education.
By empowering healthcare workers and fostering a network of trained professionals, this program aims to enhance diabetes care throughout Kenya. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in supporting children and adolescents with T1DM and ensuring their well-being.

The training was informative especially the insulin therapy.
Peter Lodokiyiaa
Very interesting to learn on how to calculate the carbohydrates coverage insulin dose but I know it will be a challenge for a pastrolist child who has no program for a three meal schedule, unavailable snacks and challenges with storage of insulin due to extreme climate. The cost of insulin can also be a barrier.

Sessions were very intense , interactive , educative and very practical in the current hospital settings .
Learning on weight of carbohydrate on every diet, insulin bolus in between meals and adolescent challenges who are living with type one diabetes..

The training is very detailed and the facilitators were well equipped. I am requesting for more Nutritionists to undergo the same training for the benefit of our children.
Lilian Karoki
This training was long overdue. Most clinicians have been practicing near withcraft stuff. We need this training cascaded down to all clinicians in public, private and FBOs hospitals. We need a paradigm shift to how T1DM children are managed. My highlight for the training is carbohydrate counting, meal ratios and insulin adjustments.. We thank PESK and CHAI for organizing this training and delivering with very skilled trainers. God bless

Rachael Mutisya
The training was quite informative provided much needed information and clarity on T1DM a field that many healthworkers have minimal knowledge on ,hopefully many such trainings will go on so that a wide range/Number of healthcare providers can be at par and able to manage our children with T1DM.Thank you
Simon Lemooge
As we return to Samburu, we are more equipped, more confident, and more united in our mission to improve the lives of those living with diabetes. We look forward to staying connected with you all as we continue this important work.
Dr.Chitechi
A well organised,comprehensive and informative session on Type 1 Diabetes that was well delivered.
Roselyn Karuma
The training was so timely when we are experiencing high incidences of children with diabetes type 1 in the county while our health care workers and mostly Frontline clinicians lack knowledge on both diagnosis and management. Very many misdiagnosis have been reported before the correct diagnosis is made. This training comes in handy to fill this gap and I can say it’s sun rise for Meru county health care workers.
It was comprehensive, detailed and presented in a manner that learning took place.
Personally I believe that I’ve learnt a lot and shall cascade the knowledge to my colleagues who didn’t have a chance to be trained.
Special thanks to all our wonderful presenters/facilitators, Chai and Pesk for giving Meru county health care workers a chance to be trained. Blessings 🙏
