As Today reports, the 19-year-old recently appeared during Milan Fashion Week's Fendi and Versace show sporting not only the latest looks from the houses, but also her insulin pump. As Paper notes, Moss has type 1 diabetes, which as the CDC explains, is a non-preventable condition that results from the pancreas not making enough insulin. Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in kids and teens, according to the CDC.

As the young model told The Kit last year about her diagnosis, "I think not many people know that I have diabetes. It's not visible from the outside, so no one would really know just by looking at you. I have type 1." She also noted about getting involved in supporting the cause in the future, "Yeah, I'd definitely like to try and help as much as I can. There's loads of things I'd like to try and help with."
