In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, we’re talking with Matt Rehrig about what it really takes to build muscle with diabetes—yes, even with insulin in the mix.

We dig into strength training, insulin management, and the often-overlooked mental load that comes with exercising when you live with type 1 diabetes. Matt shares his own journey and how he’s helping others move past fear, frustration, and burnout around fitness.

Finding a workout routine that works for you takes time—and patience—but it is absolutely possible. If exercise has ever felt overwhelming or out of reach with T1D, this conversation is for you. Press play and get into it with us.
