I was a WW member off and on. I lost 68 lbs the first time I joined, but because I didn't stick with it, like so many others I gained it back.
What is your thoughts about WW and blood sugar control. I'm thinking, since I have a more motivating reason to get my weight down, it might be helpful to join again along with help from my diabetes educator.
Thoughts?

It depends on your body, actually. I cannot do Weight Watchers because it's too high in carbs for me. I eat low carb because it keeps my blood sugars normal without medication, as long as I also get enough exercise. It's easier for me to lose weight with a low carb food plan, which is a bonus for me.
However, a lot of people have good success with Weight Watchers. Unless they've changed things since I was an online member, they do accommodate the needs of people with diabetes. But since we're not all the same, not everyone will have success with it. You should try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, you might consider a lower carb food plan.
The most important thing, though, is getting enough movement throughout the day.
Good luck!!0 -
Work with your educator to determine your carb allowance per meal snack, then get help from we to meet that. Sounds like it worked before, worn adjustments, it may work again! Good luck!0
