We are continuing to highlight founders with Diabetes on the podcast. The newest founder is Christel Oerum, who has appeared on the podcast twice! Once in episode 94 and again in episode 007 of Tools of Type 1s.
Christel is the co-Founder of DiabetesStrong.com along with her husband Tobias. She joins the pod to talk about how she balances life with Diabetes with a career in Diabetes, and how she stays motivated along the way. She is also accepting applications to the 4th annual Fit with Diabetes Challenge! Start 2020 strong by joining thousands of other people living with diabetes in the Fit With Diabetes Challenge on January 3!
This is the 4th year Christel hosts this free 3-week challenge on Diabetes Strong. Their team of top diabetes experts and I will take you through some of the most important things to know about diabetes and exercise, healthy nutrition, weight management, and diabetes mental health. They’ll help you reach your health and fitness goals, whatever they might be.
You can sign up for free and get ready as we kick off the Fit With Diabetes Challenge on January 3.
Christel and I also talk in-depth about Companion Medical and the In-Pen. She is currently utilizing the Companion Medical app to get insulin on board and carb ratios for her multiple daily injections. Be sure to check out Christel on Instagram and check out the amazing content on DiabetesStrong.com.
