MANY parents of new-born babies go through times when they fear something dreadful will happen in the night and they won?t be able to wake their child in the morning.

For Gemma Robinson that fear doesn?t ever go away, even though her daughter Faith is now aged three.

Faith has Type 1 Diabetes and if her blood sugar levels drop from the normal range in the night when she is asleep it is possible that she may not wake.

That is the fear that Gemma and husband Paul have lived with since Faith was diagnosed in October last year, leading to what Gemma calls, ?an emotional roller-coaster every day?.

Gemma and Paul also have an 11-month-old, Casey, but Gemma feels she has two new babies in their home at Elizabeth Crescent, West Pinchbeck.
