How to lose weight and lower blood sugar†

You can’t talk about diabetes without talking about weight. Science shows that even modest weight loss (losing 5% of your body weight) can help ease insulin resistance. That’s why we created the diabetes program, a weight-loss program that takes your diabetes into account.

Personalised program

Take a quick assessment for a tailored plan that's designed by nutrition and behavioral scientists, and proven to help lower weight and blood sugar.†

Simple tracking

Keep tabs on your progress by tracking meals, exercise, and weight in the app.

Ongoing support

Attend Workshops, and connect with a Coach or other members through our in-app diabetes group on Connect called ‘Living with Diabetes’.

Diabetes-friendly recipes

Curious about what you'll eat on the WeightWatchers diabetes program? With guidance from the International Diabetes Federation and our team of WW recipe developers and nutritionists, you can enjoy your favourite foods while achieving your weight loss goals.
