Pieter Naudé is a pharmacist who graduated from the famous pharmacy department of Potchefstroom University (PU for CHE). He obtained the B.Pharm degree in 1979 and, after a one-year internship at Kark’s Pharmacy in Bethal, qualified as a registered pharmacist in 1980.
He spent most of his life in community pharmacies, managing and/or owning various pharmacies over a 40-year professional career.
His exposure to diabetes started during his internship where his tutor was a type 1 diabetic. This piqued his interest and, later in the 1980s, his brother Philip was diagnosed with the disease and became his living case study.
Keeping up with change requires dedicated study and attention to detail and this is what drives Naudé. With the global explosion in type 2 diabetes, he reverted to considering root causes. The lifestyle/nutritional approach became his obsessive field of study. His book Life’s 2 Short is the culmination of years of study and attests to his passion for helping people overcome metabolic dysfunction and lead to a drug-free and healthy life.
