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-Tailored Plan, 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 WW app.
Ongoing support
Attend in-person or virtual Workshops, and connect with a Coach or other members through our in-app diabetes group on Connect called ‘Living with Diabetes’.
Diabetes basics and beyond
There’s a lot more to diabetes than just blood sugar, but sometimes, information overload just leaves you overwhelmed. So we’re demystifying the condition with expert-based intel that makes taking care of yourself feel doable.
We’re cutting through the confusion to deliver the facts—about everything from the types to treatment.
