Do you know your hypo from your hyper?

When someone’s having a diabetic emergency, acting quickly can make all the difference. Understanding whether they're experiencing high blood sugar or low blood sugar helps you give the right support when it really counts.

Your knowledge can go a long way - it could even save a life.

You might win best costume but would you win safest?
If you're shopping for the spookiest outfit for Halloween, make sure to use this advice to keep safe this season.

🎃Tip 1:
Many fancy dress costumes lack the safety standards of regular children's clothing. They are often made from quickly burning materials.
Opt for flame-resistant costumes with a CE mark, such as those made of nylon or polyester.
Costumes with a single layer of heavier material are safer than those with multiple light layers, which can trap oxygen and fuel flames.

👻Tip 2:
A flowing cape is another risky fire hazard amongst candles and lanterns.
Furthermore, if it gets caught, it could become a trip hazard or even pose a strangulation risk.

🕷️Tip 3:
Dress in regular clothes under your costume. This offers a cosy layer for chilly evenings and, importantly, adds an extra level of safety in case their costume accidentally comes into contact with fire. A pair of jeans and a woollen jumper is a perfect choice.

🍬Tip 4:
Rather than using traditional candles and naked flames, opt for the safety version instead, such as LED candles and LED tea-lights.

🍫Tip 5:
Remember to stop, drop and roll to put out fires.
Start cooling the burn or scald as quickly as possible. Hold it under cool running water for at least 20 minutes or until the pain feels better.

Remove any jewellery or clothing, unless stuck to the burn, before the area begins to swell.
When the burn has cooled, cover the area loosely with cling film, lengthways.
