Recently, Nutrisystem launched new Nutrisystem D, a program that is clinically tested to help people with type 2 diabetes lose 16 times more weight, reduce their blood sugar 5 times more compared to a hospital-directed program.* New Nutrisystem D is designed specifically for the approximately 24 million overweight Americans with type 2 diabetes, as well as the 57 million overweight Americans who are at risk for diabetes. It is estimated that diabetes care costs about $174 billion in healthcare expenditures annually.
