We’ve been doing the challenge every January since 2017, so we might do one more next year
thank you soooo much!! 🙂
Hi there,
I realise this is a bit late but I would so like to get on board with the challenge. I’ve had a really bumpy time approaching the new year and I would so enjoy doing something positive for my diabetes.
I am happy to do the work and catch up on what I’ve already missed. Please let me know if you have space for me.
Hi Jessie, please send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com and we will sign you up for the challenge
Hello! I signed up for the challenge a few days ago or I thought I did because I didn’t received any emails today. I’m having problems with my mail storage capacity or something like that and I’m assuming that’s the problem. I’ve suscribed to the challenge in the past with vane12@gmail.com and I would like to change it now so I can get the emails. I hope it’s not too late. Thanks in advance!
Hi Vanessa, I can see that the challenge emails are bouncing from your account so I think you are right that the storage capacity is the problem. Please send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com with the email address you would like us to use going forward and we will get you signed up.
I signed up for challenge. No emails so far.
Please send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com and we’ll sort it out
I signed up too with no response.
Hi Vicki, please send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com and we’ll sort it out
I’m trying to find the Facebook session today and can’t find it anywhere….I’m already registered. Email is jared.harrison30@gmail.com
Not sure why I’m not seeing anything on Facebook or even notice on instagram or anything. I did already get email this morning for today’s info and for the schedule for the 3 week challenge
Please help if you can
Jared Harrison
Facebook can be somewhat frustrating some times. This is the link to the recording of today’s live (https://www.facebook.com/events/328171494963617). I did also link to it in the email, as will link to the January 10th Live in next Sunday’s emails. Hopefully, that will be helpful next week
I thought I signed up for the challenge that starts today, but I haven’t received any confirmation yet. Can you help?
Can you please send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com and we’ll figure it out?
HI! I just saw this. Is it possible to register since it started today?. Thank you in advance!
We can sign you up today (January 3) if you send an email to contact@diabetesstrong.com. After today, it will no longer be possible to sign up.
Do I have to put in my credit card information to get the free month of Glucozone for the challenge? I used Glucose Zone during the quarantine.
Yes, the system does require a credit card for you to sign up. You won’t be charged for the first 30-days. If you decide to stay with the program after the 30-days it will automatically bill your credit card, if you decide it’s not for you, you just cancel and there will be no charge
Enjoying Diabetes strong challenge from last 3 years, it’s a great motivational program, specifically for type 1… Thanks to all authorities. … Happy learning and happy educating myself. Gratitude.🙏🇮🇳
