A 6 years old grand daughter has saved the life of her nan Jasy Tailor, after she fell into a diabetic coma. In pitch darkness, little Millie Desai, from Solihull, fumbled for the phone and rang her mum.

Sobbing, she revealed 61-year-old Jasu Tailor was cold and rigid.

She then went downstairs to search for Jasu’s sugar tester which monitors blood-sugar levels.

Mum Jay raced to the house and, when she couldn’t bring Jasu round, called for an ambulance.

Jay told a local paper, “They explained that if Millie hadn’t called when she did, my mum could have been serious. She could’ve died.

“If mum had not insisted on Millie staying at her home, dad (Bharat) would not have seen her until 6am because he works night shifts and we really don’t know what would have happened.”

She added: “We are all so proud. Millie’s my little lifesaver. I just didn’t expect someone of that age to be able to do something like this. Yes, she was crying, but she was so calm.”

Millie, a pupil at Greswold Primary, knew what was wrong with her grandmother immediately.

Her older brother Kush, aged eight, is also diabetic.

Jasu, now fully recovered, told the Birmingham Mail: “I really don’t know how to thank Milly. Without her, I don’t think I’d be here today. She saved my life.”

Jasu and Bharat stay at the Solihull home with their son and daughter-in-law, who on Saturday the couple were in London.
