Victoria Jacobs' daughter Kitty was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of two-and-a-half. 'It happened very suddenly. We noticed she was very thirsty, but I thought that it was just summer. But my husband was suspicious, because his brother was diabetic. She didn't have any other symptoms, such as tiredness or losing weight. We did a finger-prick blood test on her uncle's machine and it was off the scale, so we took her to the doctor who referred her for a blood test. It only takes one drop of blood to show that you are diabetic - so I had to accept it straightaway. This all happened the week that Kitty started at nursery school. 'We had to pull her out to go to hospital to get her insulin sorted. Injections never have been a problem - if you treat it as something ordinary I don't think a child questions it. Kitty never struggled or made a fuss.

Christmas is a peak time for household fires and injuries. According to Government statistics published last week, in December there are twice as many candle fires in houses as in other months of the year and also 5,400 accidental domestic fires or 174 a day, resulting in more than 400 deaths and around 12,500 injuries. The Government has issued safety tips including: switch off fairy lights when you go out or go to bed; don't overload plug sockets; don't leave candles unattended; put candles in proper holders so they can't fall over; keep Christmas decorations, cards and wrapping paper away from candles, open fires and heaters; and ensure smokers put their cigarettes right out. Check that smoke alarms are working and don't be tempted to take out the batteries to use in Christmas presents instead.More information is available on the website www.firekills.gov.uk.
