So good to see.

Met Gala fans are praising Kate Moss’s daughter Lila for showing off her insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring device at the ball on Monday.

The 19 year old showed off her diabetes-management devices while on the red carpet underneath her dress as she wore a nude embellished Burberry Gown with the Omnipod on full display.

Heading to social media, fans have been praising the model for her decision to not cover it up and ensure it was out and proud at the event.

One person wrote: “Lila Moss is my Met Gala hero. Proudly displaying her insulin pod and CGM for the world to see. I wish 9 year old me could have seen her. Diabetic women are beautiful. Diabetic women are strong and courageous. Diabetic women can achieve their dreams.”

Another said: “Lila Moss showing off her insulin pump at the Met Gala makes my type one diabetes heart a little happier.”

A third wrote: “As a fellow T1D and podder this is pretty cool. Lila Moss at the Met Gala rocking her omnipod!”

A fourth added: “Pretty sure Lila Moss has been photographed wearing Diabetes tech, before. But! Great! Exposure might breed confidence in those who hide the condition. We are everywhere.”

Another added: “maybe it’s not the biggest thing in the world but Lila Moss wearing her pump/ sensor visibly during big fashion shows makes me feel better about people seeing my pump/sensor, the representation is comforting.”
