Hi, my name is Alban Orsini, and I have diabetes.
Successful career, international business trips, financial stability—signs, it seemed, of a successful person who by the age of 30 has achieved a lot. But, alas, they can’t guarantee a healthy life.
In May 2012, after a difficult period, Alban Orsini was urgently hospitalized. The diagnosis is not subject to appeal: he is diabetic.
After numerous trials, the author not only fights the disease—taming it, debunking misconceptions every day—but also decides to describe his process of accepting it.
“Thank you, diabetes!” is not a clinical monograph by a specialist; it’s the honest story of a person who once learned his diagnosis and now must change his entire familiar way of life. It’s a different perspective—from the patient’s side—on the most serious problems of medicine.
The book is written in an original form; each episode is documented, dramatized, and sometimes taken to absurdity—only humor will help us cope with the disease and accept it!
