Obesity is a serious health concern that increases the risk of many other health conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint problems, mental health problems and some cancers. There is also evidence to suggest that people living with obesity are at a higher risk of more severe outcome associated with COVID-19.

The NHS Digital Weight Management Programme offers online support to people living with obesity who also have diabetes or hypertension, or both, over 18 years of age, to help them to manage their weight.
