How far would you go for the perfect body?
Possibly not as far as Skye Simpson, 30.
The beauty therapist from Melbourne, who has type 1 diabetes, deliberately skipped her insulin injections, which in turn devastated her body so badly she lost all of her teeth.
Ms Simpson still lives with the side effects of this condition, called diabulimia, which prompted her to lose 28 kilograms in just six months.
These side effects include bald patches, blurred vision and a loss of teeth.
