Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been treated as a chronic, progressive disease, too often leading to serious health problems such as heart disease, vision loss and kidney disease. In contrast, Virta's first-of-its-kind Type 2 diabetes treatment helps people reverse their condition: combining personalized nutrition and virtual care, Virta patients can achieve normal blood sugar without medications. In the company's peer-reviewed clinical trial results, at one year, 94% of patients using insulin decrease or eliminate their dosage and 63% of all prescriptions are eliminated. Patients also see sustained, clinically-significant weight loss. This unique diabetes reversal treatment through Virta further expands Careington's virtual health solutions for its diverse client base nationally.

"Managing Type 2 diabetes is critical in reducing other serious medical conditions," Careington CEO Barbara Fasola said. "We are proud and excited to announce this important partnership with Virta which will complement our portfolio of virtual health care solutions."

"This partnership streamlines access to Virta's revolutionary diabetes reversal treatment to Careington's thousands of customers and millions of members," said Kevin Kumler, President at Virta Health. "It's now easier than ever for Careington customers to plug Virta into their list of benefits and watch employees get healthier while their healthcare costs go down."

Through Virta's relationship with Careington, virtual Type 2 diabetes treatment is available to organizations of any size and sector.
