Diabetes Strong

Diabetes Strong began in 2015 as a personal blog where Christel shared her journey as a fitness lover managing type one diabetes. Frustrated by the lack of readily available information on exercise and nutrition for those with diabetes, she took the initiative to create a website. This platform allowed her to share her insights and invite other diabetes experts to contribute their knowledge. By 2017, Diabetes Strong had transformed into one of the leading health and diabetes websites, featuring expert voices from around the globe. Its mission is to serve as a comprehensive resource for anyone living with diabetes, helping them find the information they need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
