Diabetes + Weight Loss: Inside the new partnership between WeightWatchers and Abbott
from Diabetes Connections Type 2 · host Stacey Simms with Mahmood Kazemi and Gary Foster
This time of year diets are the center of a lot of conversations. So when I heard WeightWatchers was specifically offering something for people with diabetes, I wanted to learn more. WeightWatchers is teaming up with Abbott to use the Freestyle Libe CGM as part of their newest program. What does really mean for people with type 2? What are they offering and will it make a difference? I'm talking to the Chief Science Officer of WeightWatchers and Chief Medical Officer of Abbott. Also this week, why is the fasting blood glucose test so important? And what are it's limitations? This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
