Model Lila Moss needs an insulin pump because of her diabetes – at a performance in Milan, she wore the small device clearly visible on her body. This gives courage to other sick people.
Lila Moss made an unusual appearance at a fashion show in Milan. There she walked the catwalk as part of the “Fendi x Versace” show for the Versace label. Another small detail caused even more sensation than the collection: the 19-year-old carried an insulin pump on her left thigh.
Kate Moss’ daughter suffers from type 1 diabetes. The body can produce little or no insulin of its own. The vital hormone must therefore be supplied from the outside, for example by injections. Insulin is needed by the body in order to use the food ingested. If this is not possible, the sugar will accumulate in the blood, and the excess sugar can lead to a coma.
Model Lila Moss has type 1 diabetes
Moss had only made her illness public last year. “You can’t see it from the outside, so nobody knows if they just look at you,” she told The Kit. Today she is open about it. On Instagram, she posted a series of pictures of her appearance with the clearly visible insulin pump on her thigh. The little device can ultimately save her life.
Moss received a lot of encouragement from other victims on her social media channels. You feel publicly represented by the model. The disease is relatively rare: only three to five percent of all diabetics suffer from type 1 diabetes. “Thank you for wearing your insulin pump so proudly,” wrote a user on Lila Moss’ Instagram account. “You are an inspiration to many who live with type 1 diabetes,” said another user. Many other diabetics also thanked Moss for their courage to bring the topic to the public.
