We know diabetes
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions. It’s also one of the most misunderstood.
What causes diabetes in the first place?
Is type 1 diabetes all that different from type 2 diabetes?
If you’re living with diabetes, do you have to ban all sugar?
Is it true that diabetes is reversible?
To help you cut through the confusion, we’ve got science-backed answers, plus expert insight on how to manage the condition while still living the life you love.
A weight-loss program built by our nutrition and behavioral scientists, just for you

Tell us about yourself
After joining WeightWatchers, and letting us know that you live with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in the WW app, our diabetes program takes your needs into account.
)
Get a custom-designed plan
Our nutritionists also consider your weight, height, age and sex assigned at birth (which help us calculate your metabolic rate) to create a food plan with no-track, no-measure foods that are less likely to raise blood sugar.
)
Use Points, however you’d like
The WeightWatchers Points® system tally up complex nutritional data into one simple number. Points guide you toward foods with higher protein, higher fibre, and lower added sugar. These foods are also less likely to cause spikes in blood sugar.
