Hello! I'm Dr Ranj, welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

-ALL: Yes!

-Good!

Someone isn't feeling well. I wonder who my next patient is.

Who's come to visit me? Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

It's...

..Petal!

# With buttons and bangles that jangle as I hop

# When I'm having so much fun It's hard for me to stop

# Twirling, twisting when I'm singing any song I choose

# Twirling, twisting, skating Skipping in my dancing shoes

# Twirling, twisting when I'm singing any song I choose

# Twirling, twisting, skating Skipping in my dancing shoes

# Twirling, twisting, skating Skipping in my dancing shoes. #

Whoo!

-Hello, Petal.

-Hello, Dr Ranj.

SHE SIGHS

You're not looking your usual sunny self today.

No. I'm feeling very sleepy tired.

-SHE YAWNS

-Oh, dear! Are you sleeping properly?

Well, I go in my bed and I go to sleep,

but then I have to wake up, because I want to go to the loo.

-And does it happen more than once in a night?

-Yes, lots and lots,

and I feel very sleepy tired...

-SHE YAWNS

-Dou feel thirsty as well?

-Yes, I do feel thirsty. And hungry too!

-Hmm...

You're feeling tired

and you feel thirsty and hungry and you go to the toilet a lot.

I have an idea what it might be, but we need to do a fingerprint test.

-Can you hop up onto the couch?

-OK.

Right, I'll just clean my hands.

And we'll just clean your finger.

I'm going to give your finger a little pinprick,

so you need to be really brave.

-Ooh...

-Don't worry, Petal. Do you know the Wheels On The Bus song?

-Yes!

-# The wheels on the bus

# Go round and round

# Round and round, round and round

# The wheels on the bus go round and round... # Oh!

All done!

This machine tells me how much sugar is in your blood.

I have sugar in my blood?

-How did it get there?

-WE all have sugar in our blood,

-from the food we eat.

-Oh.

Our bodies are amazing at changing the sugar from our food into energy.

-What's energy?

-Well, this bus needs fuel like petrol to make it go...

# Round and round, round and round. #

Yes! And we're like this bus. We need fuel to make us go...

# Round and round, round and round. #

That's right! And where we get our fuel?

-Sugar from food?

-Very good! But from your test I see

that the sugar in your body isn't turning into energy,

-which is making you feel unwell.

-Oh!

Petal, you might have diabetes.

-Diabetes? Diabetes...

-Yes.

-I'll send you to the hospital for some tests.

-Hospital?

We need to make sure it is diabetes so we know how to treat you.

Can you make it better, Dr Ranj?

Of course we can. Let's ask Nurse Morag and the Healthy Helpers

-to explain.

-Very good idea!

There you go.

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hello, Dr Ranj. What can I do for you?

-I've got Petal here with me.

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hello, Petal!

-Nurse Morag,

could you tell me about the sugar in my blood?

Of course I can! With the help of my Healthy Helpers.

# Catch that ball, yeah It's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well

# Catch that ball, yeah It's your go

# Ask the nurse Give me questions, catch and go

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Ask the nurse Catch the ball, yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and go

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Give me questions, catch and go! #

Today, I'm in Derby, and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hi! My name's Lily-Mae. I like going on rollercoasters.

Hi! My name's Danny. I like going to the park.

Hi! My name's Isha, and I like going on water slides.

Hi! My name's Joshua. I like swimming in the pool.

Petal would like us to tell her more about the sugar in her blood.

And we get the sugar in our blood from the food we eat.

And all different kinds of food have sugar in it.

What do you think has the most sugar in it?

-Sweets.

-Sweeties just like these!

But lots of other types of food have sugar in them as well.

Bananas.

Bananas do have sugar in them

because fruit has lots of sugar, doesn't it?

-What have you got here?

-Bread.

-Does that have sugar in it?

-No.

-It does, you know. What else have you got?

Pasta. Does pasta have sugar in it?

-Yes!

-You're right, it does.

-There's a spider in there.

-I don't think a spider has sugar in it.

But do you know what, guys?

Our body is very clever

and it can turn the sugar in all of this food into energy.

And Petal's been feeling really tired lately

because her body's not been turning the sugar into energy.

-Shall we play a game?

-Yeah!

-Come on, guys, let's go play!

Yay!

Most people's bodies turn sugar from their food into energy.

Shall we see how that works?

-Yeah!

-OK.

Danny, because you're so sweet, you can be sugar,

so take one end of the skipping rope.

Thank you very much.

Isha, you want to skip rope, so can you go and stand in the middle?

Excellent.

In order for our bodies to turn sugar into energy,

we need special help,

and we get that special help

from something we already have in our bodies.

The special thing is called insulin,

and, Lily Mae, you are going to be the insulin,

so take the other end of the skipping rope.

LilyMae and Danny, pick up the ends of the skipping rope.

One, two, three...

Sugar and insulin are working together to give us energy,

so that Isha can jump the rope.

But Petal's body works in a different way.

Shall we find out how?

-Yeah!

-Danny, you're sugar, so you stay where you are.

Isha, you want to skip rope,

so you stay there, but, insulin, you come on out.

Isha, do you think you can still jump the rope?

OK, give it a try.

You can't skip now, Isha, and that's what's happening to Petal.

Her body isn't turning sugar into energy,

because she doesn't have any insulin.

-Shall we show Petal how we can help her?

-Yeah!

Petal's body doesn't make insulin,

but a doctor could give Petal insulin.

Joshua, you're our doctor.

Let's bring back insulin. Well done!

Thank you, Doctor. OK, one, two, three, go.

Isha can skip again! The insulin helps sugar change into energy.

And if a doctor gives insulin to Petal, it'll help her feel better.

And she'll be able so skip and dance and run about

just like she's always done.

Well done, guys! Excellent! Come on in.

Well, I hope we've explained more to Petal

about what happens to the sugar in her blood. Yeah?

ALL: Bye-bye, Petal, and get well soon!

Petal went to the hospital to have more tests on her blood and her wee,

and she does have diabetes, so now Petal's coming back,

and we'll look at how we can make her feel well.

Hello, Dr Ranj.

Hello, Petal! I'm glad you're here,

-because there's someone who wants to meet you.

-Oh!

-This is Mia.

-Hello, Mia!

-Mia has diabetes too.

-Really?

And I was hoping you could make her feel better.

I can do that. What do we have to do?

Well, here's a pen for you and a pen for me.

A pen! Oh, thanks!

It's called an insulin injection pen.

Insulin is a special help Nurse Morag showed us.

You give Mia her injection to make her body work properly,

and I will give you an injection as well.

-Can you see Mia's flowery patches?

-They're very pretty!

That's where she has her injections. I'll give you your injection first.

It might pinch a little, but it will make you feel much better.

# The wheels on the bus go round and round

# Round and round, round and round. #

All done! Very good, Petal!

My turn. Mia, this injection to make you feel much better.

Great work! I'll show your mum and dad how to test your blood sugar

and give your injections to keep you well.

Dr Ranj, will Mia be well soon?

Your injections will keep her well, but diabetes doesn't go away.

So she'll be ill always? And I'll be ill always too?

No, Petal! Diabetes just means

you have to take care of yourself, eat the right food

and have insulin injections.

If you do that, you should be able to do everything you want.

-Become a ballerina?

-Of course you can!

Mia says she wants to be a ballerina too.

I'm going to feel a lot better now, aren't I, Dr Ranj?

# Nothing's going to stop you now from having all your fun

# Cos you can dance and jump around just like you've always done... #

I'm so glad, because I don't want to stop jumping and dancing.

# Take good care of yourself Test your blood every day... #

-OK!

-# If it needs putting right Then do it straightaway... #

-Right.

-# Look after yourself and your blood will be OK... #

-Yes.

-# Then you'll feel good

# Just as you should You'll play the day away... #

-Oh, good!

-# Nothing's going to stop you now from having all your fun

# Cos you can dance and jump around just like you've always done... #

-Yippee!

-# Nothing's going to stop you now from having all your fun... #

I'm glad.

# Cos you can dance and jump around just like you've always done

# Do do do do do-do Do do do do-do do

# Yes, you can dance and jump around just like you've always done

# Do do do do do-do do Do do do-do do

# Yes, you can dance and jump around just like you've always done

# Yes, you can dance and jump around just like you've always done

# Yes, you can dance and jump around just like you've always done. #

Yeah!

Don't worry, Dr Ranj, I'll take good care of Mia.

-Thank you. And take good care of yourself, too.

-I will.

Thanks for coming to see me, Petal, and get well soon!

Bye, Dr Ranj. Say goodbye, Mia.

-Bye!

-Bye, Petal! Bye, Mia!

Petal and Mia will be feeling better soon and dancing around.

Join me again next time when we'll be helping someone else feel better.

Until then, be happy, be healthy.
