'A bogus weight loss drug nearly killed me'

Available for over a year

A mother-of-two who nearly died after taking a fraudulent weight loss injection is urging others to be careful about what they buy online. Michelle Sword, 46, from Carterton, Oxfordshire, ordered the slimming drug from an online beauty company last year. She believed she had bought an Ozempic injection but, instead, it was fast-acting insulin, which sent her into a diabetic coma. Michelle has been sharing her story with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Sophia Seth.
