Unbeknownst to him, a three-year-old managed to save his father from the potentially fatal consequences of an ongoing diabetic coma, and how did he do so? He used his plastic knife and a jar of yogurt. You read that right, we are talking about a common snack that we usually find inside our refrigerator, and which in this incredible story was the "medicine" that allowed the little three-year-old to save his diabetic dad. This real miracle happened near Manchester, in Great Britain.

It all happened in the town of Droylsden, near Manchester, when little 3-year-old Lenny-George Jones tried to save his father Mark from a dangerous diabetic coma; what the brave child did was go to the refrigerator, open it, take out a tub of yogurt and open it with his plastic toy knife, as he couldn't get to the top drawer where the cutlery was.

After opening the yogurt, Lenny-George poured the semi-liquid contents into his father's mouth who was having a low blood sugar attack at the time; once awakened Mark took his glucose pills himslef, amazed at what his three-year-old son had just done: he had literally saved him.

Lenny's mom Emma was as amazed as her husband at what little Lenny-George had done, and she recounted (as translated from Alicanthe.net: "He saved his father's life. Mark is a type 1 diabetic. and he needs to take insulin 4 times a day. It was a Sunday night, I had to go to my mom's house, which is literally 2 minutes around the corner, and I left them watching TV together.

I was gone for about 30 minutes and when I got back they were lying on the sofa. Mark didn't look good, so I asked him what happened. Lenny just turned to me and said he had saved his Dad. He passed out and woke up on the kitchen floor after a bout of hypoglycemia, and Lenny was giving him some yogurt that he managed to get out of the fridge. […] It could have been a completely different scenario if Mark had been in bed or if Lenny hadn't done what he did."
