An Edinburgh student that received a shock diagnosis after losing a significant amount of weight in a short space of time has gone public with her story, as part of a new campaign.
Alyssa Faulkner, 24, went to doctors after she lost two stone for no reason. At the age of 14, she also found herself lightheaded, as well as constantly hungry or thirsty.
She was then told she had diabetes, and has struggled with balancing her condition with social life and studies since.
