How do I join the diabetes program?

After you sign up and log into the WW app, you’ll see a pop-up message instructing you to answer a few simple questions. When prompted, indicate that you’re living with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Is the diabetes program different from the regular WW program?

No, it’s simply tailored for members living with diabetes. You’ll still enjoy all aspects of the WW program and have a customised ZeroPoint foods list that takes diabetes into account.

Is the diabetes program for people with prediabetes or gestational diabetes?

If you have prediabetes, the regular Points program is suitable for you. The diabetes program is for people who have been told by their doctor or another healthcare provider that they have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.WW isn’t designed for people who are pregnant—therefore, the diabetes program is not recommended if you have gestational diabetes.

WW and diabetes FAQs

Our plan is not a replacement for a medical provider, and weight loss should never come before health. If your blood sugar is not where it needs to be, continue to monitor it according to your healthcare provider’s recommendations and follow your provider’s guidance on how to stabilise those numbers. We’ll be here to help you eat healthier, move more, and shift your mindset—while living your best life with diabetes.
