Welcome to the first episode of Club D – the diabetes podcast from Switzerland. In the first episode we get to know Manuel C. Widmer. The 56-year-old primary school teacher, politician and DJ has had diabetes for 25 years. He likes to cook and describes himself as a TV junkie, and is a YB and FC Breitenrain fan.
