Este Haim, the bassist of Haim has revealed that she almost died from a Diabetic seizure at Glastonbury Festival 2013.

"The last time we were here, I was on stage saying 'this is the best moment of my life', when suddenly I nearly had a seizure because I'm diabetic."

"I think we've had a lot of trials and tribulations on the road, there have been a couple of little mishaps," she said. "Glastonbury being one of them when I almost died.

"I was so out of it that I just didn't remember that I hadn't eaten. By the sixth song, I could feel my blood sugar levels plummeting really really fast. My eyes were kind of fluttering in the back of my head."

She continued: "My manager, he's the best manager in the world, he had to put chocolate on his finger and stick it in my mouth. [He had to] put it on the side of my cheek and rub it for a good two minutes before I could get back on stage.  I did the rest of the set sitting down like BB King."

Este carried on discussing the difficulties of suffering from type 1 diabetes as a touring musician: "It's due to the fact that your hours are always so different and food is never really constant. When you are trying to figure out, 'OK, if I am eating this food, how much insulin do I have to take?'

"There is a lot of different factors that go along to treating diabetes, it's exercise, it's diet and insulin.  Sometimes I can't exercise because I've spent the last 12 hours on flights or I'm exhausted or I don't want to exercise."

She added: "I think it's something that I have and I have to be responsible for it and own up to it and talk about it."
