Diabulimia: 'I was told I was going to die'

At her worst point Zohra Allana was told she was"going to die".

"I look really awful, emaciated," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat, while swiping through holiday photos from last year. Type 1 diabetes is an irreversible autoimmune disease which requires constant care - people who have it need their insulin to stay alive.Zohra was diagnosed with type 1 when she was 19:"I was in my flat near uni and I just collapsed.""I practically screamed the hospital down."

Diabetes and mental health experts believe up to 40% of those will at some point restrict their insulin over a"fear of fatness".
