My name is Dr. Rainer Limpinsel, I am a physician and I have diabetes. After my diagnosis, I initially followed the traditional path with insulin and other medications - but after a year, I was fed up with it! I wanted to take action against my diabetes myself and not passively submit to the remedies of the pharmaceutical industry. In this book, I want to share my story as a diabetic with you - why did I become ill and how am I healthy again now? Rainer Limpinsel openly and entertainingly recounts his "double life" as a doctor and diabetic: why a cycling tour through the Alps became a wake-up call for him and motivated him to take control of his diabetes. He explains how he ultimately managed to do this without medication and why, upon looking behind the scenes of his own industry, he should be horrified - if he still had any hair left. He exposes the contradictions in the treatment of diabetics and explains what you can do beyond insulin and other medications to actively confront diabetes and get rid of it - self-determined and naturally.
