THIS woman is on a mission to show that type one diabetics can live life to the full after she spent a year skipping and fearing her ‘pure fat’ insulin injections and ended up in a coma for four days the first time she missed her medication as she developed diabulimia.

Centre manager, Georgia Thomson (27) from Cardiff, Wales, first stopped taking her insulin on a skiing trip in 2009 which saw her develop a serious complication known as, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which left her in a coma. At first, Georgia didn’t really know what she was doing but started misusing her insulin to lose weight, thinking this would make her happier and more confident. During this time, Georgia would drink up to five litres of water a day to try to quench her thirst and lost some of her eyesight as a layer of glucose developed over her eyes while she constantly felt sick.
