Becki Bailey thought she knew everything about her dog Lulu after rehoming the Staffordshire Bull Terrier seven years ago.

The diabetic, from Norwich, spoke of her surprise after realising that her beloved pet had a hidden talent after she began warning her when her blood sugar levels dropped dangerously low.

The 29-year-old, of Wingfield Road, has worked hard to control her glucose levels after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 11 years ago. However, when she became pregnant, she found it more difficult to prevent hypoglycaemia from happening.

The diabetic, who has to prick her fingers seven times a day to test her blood sugar levels, said she could not believe that Lulu could sense that she was having a hypo before she knew.
