On Friday, the 29-year-old shared an image in which she was giving herself an injection at a cafe, likely before a meal.
She captioned it: ‘November is Diabetes Awareness Month. A big part of spreading awareness is educating others about what Type 1 diabetes is (and is not).
‘Education is key to help spread the facts and advocate for our T1 community. Keep the questions coming below… what do you want to know??’
Bambi, who is an ambassador for the organisation Beyond Type 1, revealed her battle with the condition in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in September 2018.
