How does Virta work?

Virta uses food as medicine to help you naturally lower your blood sugar and lose weight. With Virta, you don't need to eat less; you learn to eat more better-for-you meals under the personalized guidance of a remote medical care team. There is no calorie-counting or exercise required. 

Each participant receives:

• Medical supervision from a physician-led care team.
• One-on-one support from a dedicated health coach.
• Diabetes testing supplies, including a Bluetooth connected meter and scale.
• Access to educational tools like videos and recipes and a private online support community.

Virta provides the supplies and around the clock support you need to meet your goals.
