Fit with diabetes: Let's do this, together. 

If you need a little motivation and support to get started on your health and diabetes goals in January, why not join me in taking the Fit With Diabetes Challenge?

It’s a free, 4-week challenge focused on diabetes and exercise, healthy nutrition, and weight management with diabetes. I, along with a team of top diabetes experts, will take you through some of the most important aspects you should know about the aforementioned topics. 

The challenge starts on January 3, but you can go ahead and sign up here: https://diabetesstrong.com/diabetes-challenge/

How the Fit With Diabetes Challenge works

The Fit With Diabetes Challenge consists of five parts:

1. Daily activities or “challenges” that take you through everything you need to do in a step-by-step fashion
2. Articles covering the most important topics on diabetes and weight management
3. Weekly meal plans
4. Workout programs that you can do during the challenge (home and gym workouts)
5. A Facebook support group for challenge participants to ask questions, share experiences and connect with other people who want to be Fit With Diabetes

Each week, there will be a giveaway where you can win awesome diabetes products from challenge sponsors like One Drop. Additionally, there will be a special discount from One Drop to all challenge participants. More on that special deal later! 

Who all should sign up? 

Did I mention that it’s totally FREE to take the challenge? Anyone and everyone is welcome to join!
