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, our Diabetes Tailored Plan 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
Points tally up complex nutritional data into one simple number. It’s like a financial budget, but with food—you spend, you add, you spend some more! But it’s not just set there. It’s built to be flexible for special occasions, favorite meals, and more.
Track your blood sugar
This simple tool in the WW app helps you manually track your blood sugar—allowing you to see patterns and changes in blood sugar over time.

Your Top Questions, Answered
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. Next, you’ll be asked what foods you like to eat most often. You’ll then get a customized nutrition plan with a budget and ZeroPoint® food list, curated specifically for those living with diabetes. Your Points® Budget is like a financial budget, but with food—you spend, you add, you spend some more—and it’s designed to be flexible.
No, it’s simply tailored for members living with diabetes. You’ll still enjoy all aspects of the WeightWatchers program—like coaching, community, recipes, and on-demand workouts—plus a carefully tailored ZeroPoint® food list selected by our nutrition and diabetes experts. You’ll also have access to a blood sugar tracker, allowing you to see patterns and changes in blood sugar over time.
If you have prediabetes, the regular WeightWatchers program is suitable for you. The diabetes-tailored plan is for people who have been told by their doctor or another healthcare provider that they have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
WeightWatchers isn’t designed for people who are pregnant—therefore, the diabetes-tailored plan is not recommended if you have gestational diabetes.
We can’t stress this enough: Our program 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 stabilize those numbers. We’ll be here to help you eat healthier, move more, and shift your mindset—while living your best life.
