    "content": "Lack of funding for effective strategy to prevent, detect and manage diabetes is hindering this country from achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 3. The call for access to quality essential health care service and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines for all is not met. This also hinders the country from achieving Vision 2030’s pillar on health. Early detection and diagnosis of diabetes treatment helps in monitoring the treatment progress, recovery and even prevent life threatening and expensive complications. However, this not being done because the country lacks clear clinical guidelines for the management of diabetes that will standardise the care of diabetes in Kenya. That means, someone living with diabetes in Lamu does not receive the same support in managing their diabetes as someone living with diabetes in Nairobi. You are therefore likely to die of complication arising from diabetes in Lamu than in Kiambu. The country lacks training on diabetes management and prevention. There is no enough resource for diabetes screening, monitoring blood glucose, blood pressure, weight and body mass index (BMI). While I am presenting this Motion, the two hospitals in Lamu both lack glucometer."
