Doctor has suggested WW for tighter diabetes control, but I'm wondering if medicare pays for it.

I doubt it, but Weight Watchers is not expensive. You can get the meetings and the online support together, or separately. I recommend the meetings over the online if you have to choose. Being accountable every week for the weigh in is great motivation.

Weight Watchers does not have a program specific to diabetics as far as I know. I do know of a wonderful book that I use for my husband specific to diabetics if you are interested. It is free and you can get it on about any ereader. Let me know. The book is small, logical, user friendly and put out by NovoNordisk. Also, myfitnesspal.com is a wonderful tool for tracking food intake, carbs, calories, etc. and it is free as well.
