Jack Whitehall's girlfriend Roxy issues health update after being rushed to hospital

Jack Whitehall 's girlfriend Roxy Horner shared an update on her health after being rushed to the hospital.

She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in May last year and recently almost fell unconscious because of it.

The model revealed her glucose levels got low and wouldn't return to normal levels.

Her friend had to call an ambulance for her.

"After my last post on diabetes, I've had a few messages on how I'm managing and the truth is I'm trying my best but it is still hard," she wrote on Instagram.

"I've been having a really rough time managing my glucose levels the past few weeks, they are yo-yoing for absolutely no reason, I throw up when I go too high and I've had a few too many hypos for my liking lately."

Roxy added: "My friend had to call an ambulance for me the other day. I was starting to lose consciousness, my entire body was shaking, my levels got pretty low and wouldn't come back up after drinking four apple juices.

"It's so weird to me because I'm still figuring this out and a month ago I really thought I'd started to nail it but it's always going to be a rollercoaster and I know soon I'll feel much better, maybe even tomorrow.

"I'll be fine. My problems feel so minuscule on the scale of what's going on in the world and I count myself lucky that I'm safe in my own country."

Back in May, she didn't clarify what she was diagnosed with but cursed autoimmune diseases.

Since getting diagnosed with diabetes, the star has been sharing her journey with fans.

She even told Marie Claire how it 'changed her life'.

"Type 1 Diabetes has changed my life but the silver lining is that perhaps it has taught me to stand up for myself and listen to my body," Roxy said.

"I’ve had to take a lot of time out of work but that’s okay, I am only six months into my diagnosis so I needed that break.

"My agency Premier have been so understanding and supportive. My boyfriend has been incredible. I am so lucky in that respect."

At one point, she even shared snaps of her injecting insulin into her leg while sitting in a cab and while sitting at a restaurant table.
