Is the Fit With Diabetes eBook right for you?

I wrote the Fit With Diabetes eBook to share my knowledge of how to exercise and eat healthily with insulin-dependent diabetes. This is knowledge that I think is essential if you manage your diabetes with insulin – no matter if you use a pump, pen, needle or inhalable insulin.

If you don’t use insulin, parts of this book will not be relevant to you.

Note: The book is based on my popular Fit With Diabetes Challenges and some of the content is freely available on Diabetes Strong. If you don’t want to buy the book, try searching the website for the information you need.

What people are saying about the book

“Fit with Diabetes is a must-read for anyone who works out and uses insulin, especially if you’re looking for a wealth of practical experience and personal insight into how to become as fit and healthy as possible with type 1 diabetes.”

~ Dr. Sheri Colberg (T1D and author of The Diabetic Athlete’s Handbook)”

“This eBook is not only incredibly friendly and easy to read, it’s also loaded with real-world, practical blood sugar management knowledge and guidance for any type of exercise…from Christel who actually has type 1 diabetes!”

~ Ginger Vieira (T1D)

Why I wrote this book

Christel OerumI’m Christel Oerum, I’ve been living with type 1 diabetes since 1997 and am the co-founder of Diabetes Strong. The Fit With Diabetes eBook is based on my experience as a fitness professional living with diabetes as well as all the scientific information I’ve researched.

I wanted to write this book because everybody living with diabetes should have access to the knowledge of how to successfully exercise and eat healthily with diabetes. My motto is “there is nothing you can’t do with diabetes – as long as you have the right tools and knowledge”.

I promise that when you’re done reading this book, you’ll have a good base knowledge of the main themes when it comes to diabetes, exercise and nutrition, and the tools to be successful, not just now, but in the future as well.

    Hi Christel Oerum,
    I am too thin from childhood, and my friends are making fun with me, so please suggest me the best article for me or guide me in some line.

      Healthy weight gain is tough, so you have to be patient. And “friends” who make fun of you, are not true friends!
      If you’re happy with the size you are, I would ignore your friends, and just be proud of your body. But if you choose to make changes, because you want to and not because others tell you to, you should look into building muscle. I think this article could be helpful to set you on the right track: https://diabetesstrong.com/gaining-muscle-with-type-1-diabetes-an-intro-guide/

    I’ve been living with Type II diabetes and IBS off and on for about 20 years but in the last couple of years my doctor mentioned maybe I didn’t have either because they bounce off of each other. A lady at church had mentioned that she had the same issues that I was having so her doctor took her off her diabetic medication and the OTC’s she was using for the IBS and gave her another kind of medication. Recently I reminded my doctor of this so she took me off Metformin thinking it causes more diarrhea than I would normally have with the IBS alone. My A1C for the last 2 years, every 4 months, has been at 5.7 – 6.1. I explained all that to let you know the background.
    A few months ago she took me off 1000mg Metformin dinner time regimen and just left me on 2mg Glimperide. Along with BP meds and a stomach med.
    We eat breakfast around 5-6 am, by 8:30am glucose check is 220, which is totally new to me, before it was always about 125 at the same time but without a breakfast every morning. If I was eating breakfast it was usually Greek yogurt with cereal on the run, where as now I sit relaxed talking with my honey over breakfast, drink 1 cup of coffee and taking my morning meds which include the Glimperide.
    I’m concerned that it’s too high but not really sure. I feel fine, IBS is much better and I don’t feel the afternoon sugar drop like I use to on my way home.

      I would mention it to your doctor and see what she says. There are some types of Metformin that are more gentle on your system (https://diabetesstrong.com/metformin-side-effects/)
