About the Program
Nutrisystem D allows diabetics to enjoy the foods you love, control your diabetes and lose weight with a combination of healthy and nutritional foods.
This plan for diabetics is also backed by clinically tested results. People with Type 2 Diabetes lost up to sixteen times more weight, lowered their blood sugar levels five times more, lowered their glycated hemoglobin (A1C) by 0.9%, lowered their cholesterol level by 20.9 mg, and lowered their triglycerides level by 42.7 mg compared to those following a hospital-based diet and education plan. (Clinical results are available on Nutrisystem’s website).
