Worcestershire children 'save mother' who falls ill

[Northerner]

A mother who fell into a diabetic coma has said she would probably not be alive if her six-year-old daughter had not called her granddad.

Trina Hinton, 43, a type 1 diabetic from Worcestershire, woke up after the episode to find paramedics with her.

They told her that her daughter Libby had phoned her granddad, tried to give her a sugary drink and held her hand.

Libby and brother Archie, four, also wrapped her up in towels and tidied their bedroom while waiting for help.

Ms Hinton, from Alfric, has been diabetic for nearly 20 years.

She said she had the unexpected episode after going for a shower on Thursday night.

I wondered about the 'covered her with towels' in Northie's extract - why would they cover her, and why on earth with towels? - until I read the newspaper article LOL

What lovely children!
