What is Care4Diabetes?
The Care4Diabetes project, inspired by the Dutch project Reverse Diabetes 2 Now by the Voeding Leeft foundation, is a program based on four fundamental pillars:
-
nutrition
- physical activity
- relaxation
- and sleep.
In a small group of no more than 15 people, you will actively participate in a range of workshops and activities run by a nurse, a dietitian or a coach, all with a view to optimizing the management of your diabetes.
By participating in the Care4Diabetes project, you will also help to improve research on type 2 diabetes; over the course of the program, certain parameters will be evaluated to assess the benefits of the program for the participants.

How long will the program last?
The entire program will last a year, with 5 days in the group staggered over the first 6 months (including two consecutive days) and one refresher day in the 12th month.
Where will the program take place?
The sessions will be held either at RML UOAD near Dinant, or at the Maison du Diabète near Marche-en-Famenne. Please note that the Care4Diabetes program is being rolled out in several EU countries and is receiving financial support from the European Commission.
