Working in the Refugee Community, it has been challenging to manage T1DM patients as we still use premix insulin. I now understand why their sugars haven’t been well controlled.
The seasions were educative and interactive at the same time. The practical seasions were key and will forever be embedded in my mind. Big shout out to PESK, CHAI and MoH for making this training a reality. Information learnt will be cascaded to other health practitioners at my facility.

Indeed it was a good training that will for sure make a big difference in the management of DM type 1 ,most of us didn’t have the depth knowledge about dosage, when to transition and many others.

A timely intervention indeed, personally I have learnt a lot including management of dka, insulin intensification and dietary management in regards to insulin uptake.
Francis Mwangi
Grateful with the training on the Diabetes Type 1 management. The psychosocial aspect requires more emphasis as per the IASC and WHO guidelines interventions. Clearly bring on board the Indicators to be measured during care. Routine PSS assessment need to be done and reported as a key Patient Quality of Care indicator
Abdirahman sharif mohamed
The was so perfect and very important and i m sure the Type 1 dm patient who are from my mandera county will benefit alot.
I m also requesting that the trainibg will be included one or two staff from fron private hospitals
Others that was perfect and let the note be shared to every one plz
Thanks to all facilitaitors

The training captured well all the interventions. One bit forgotten is the PHC interface for Community health strategy and community mental health care services for follow up and adherence as key psychosocial support intervention to fight stigma and trauma in patients with diabetes type 1.

As facilitators, we felt we had very good attendees, who were eager to learn. We have created a team that will help lighten the load on the back of families of children living with diabetes. People are scared of what they do not know. With the attained knowledge, you will make diabetes education lighter. Keep up the spirit!!! The PESK team is just a phone call away.
