Check EligibilityI was a mechanic who spent most of my days on my feet, and could be found at the gym at least 3 days a week. Most importantly, I loved to cycle and ride BMX with my daughter. But at the worst point of struggling with type 2 diabetes, I was overweight and couldn’t find the energy or motivation to do anything, even those things I loved. Nothing I tried helped, including multiple prescriptions from my doctor that never did much to bring my blood sugar down to healthy levels. However, Virta gave me a different solution—diabetes reversal by making adjustments to my diet.
I’ve lost over 113 pounds, and brought my A1c down 1.7 points to 5.5%, which is within healthy ranges now. But what means the most to me is just how great I feel, and how much happier I am. My 7-year-old daughter and I try to go to the bike track at least 3 days a week now to race and spend time together. Even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be able to do this again at 49 years old. Thanks to Virta, I feel like I’m in my 20s again.
Tired of just managing diabetes? Try diabetes reversal. No exercise, medication, or surgery required.
Skip the waiting room! Virta puts an online clinic in your pocket so that it's there when you need it. Get care anywhere, anytime.
Your Virta Provider takes over your diabetes care. But they won't replace your primary care provider. Instead, they work with them to coordinate your care.
Most patients are used to getting their diabetes care in just a few visits each year. On Virta, you get daily medical supervision from our physician-led team. Through the Virta app, your provider will keep you safe and adjust your medications in real time.
Your Virta Health Coach is your guide to better health. They will help you change your diet and other health habits in a way that works for you. Your coach will be there to support and encourage you, every step of the way.
Most patients are used to only seeing their health coach once a month. Through the Virta app, you can message your coach whenever you need help.
All diabetes testing supplies, like glucose strips, lancets, swabs, and a meter, are included. You also get tools to understand your ability to burn fat, including blood ketone strips and a connected scale.
Virta is all-inclusive, meaning you pay nothing for the supplies. Everything is shipped right to your door, free of charge.
Through the Virta app, you can access our private patient community. In the community, patients share tips, like their favorite recipes. You can discuss your experience on Virta in a moderated, safe, and private place. Participation is optional, but most patients choose to join for the extra support!
