August 5, 2022 – Abbott and WW International, Inc. announced a strategic partnership that will help people living with diabetes better understand and manage their diabetes and weight.
The companies are working together to integrate WeightWatchers’ diabetes-tailored weight management program with Abbott’s portfolio of FreeStyle Libre products to create a seamless mobile experience that will give people living with diabetes the information and insights needed to make healthy adjustments to their diet, improve their glucose levels, and, ultimately, gain more control of their health.
Through this partnership, participants can receive glucose insights from Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre sensor-based technology that show the impact of food choices, alongside the empirically validated WeightWatchers’ diabetes-tailored nutritional guidance to help them achieve their healthier living goals.
The two companies will work together to allow Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring systems and the WeightWatchers mobile app to share information so that people living with diabetes can see their glucose data alongside WeightWatchers’ diabetes-tailored program.
The partnership will initially focus on solutions for people living with diabetes within the United States in 2023.
