Why WAIT

We are currently evaluating candidates for the April 2012 Why WAIT proigram.  Please call 617.309.2767.

Weight Achievement and Intensive Treatment (Why WAIT?) is a 12-week multidisciplinary program for weight control and intensive diabetes management that is offered to those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes..
(Please note: The Why WAIT? Program is conducted only in our Boston location). The next programs start April 2012.

The program includes:

• adjustments to diabetes medications to enhance weight reduction
• a structured diet with regular food and meal replacements, following Joslin Nutrition Guidelines 
• weekly learning sessions
• individualized exercise  plan that gradually increases from 20 to 30 minutes/day (3 to 4 times/week) to 45 to 60 minutes/day (6 times/week)
