About the research

Let people with (type 2) diabetes enjoy life to the fullest. That is the mission of Annelien Callens (Artevelde University college) and her colleagues. They are investigating whether group sessions with peers can help to better control their disease.

After nursing training, Annelien Callens left for Ghana to work on a project on HIV/AIDS prevention. There her interest in health promotion grew. Once back in Belgium, she decided to pursue studies in health promotion. In the meantime, she works as a lecturer and researcher in the nursing training at the Arteveldehogeschool. As an employee of the "Interreg 2 Seas" research project DWELL (Diabetes & Wellbeing), she hopes to contribute to sustainable behavioural change and a higher quality of life for persons with type 2 diabetes.
