I don't know how helpful Weight Watcher's is for a diabetic, only your doctor should give approval for the various programs out there. Because I didn't want to test or take shots after being diagnosed with Type 2, my doctor told me to lose at least 50 pounds. I started with a dietician trained in diabeties and then continued through LA Weight Loss (with my doctor's approval) for a total loss of 70 pounds. Now I am pre-diabetic and have keep my weight loss off for over a year. You can do the same for your self. Don't let others get you down. I suggest you go back to your diagnosing doctor and get his help. Best of luck to you.
