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’.
