Meet the incredible three-year-old who saved his father's life by force feeding him yoghurt as he lay unconscious on the kitchen floor.

Mark Jones, 34, had fallen into a diabetic coma after his blood sugar levels had dropped to a dangerous level.

But his son Lenny-George managed to grab two Muller Crunch Corners from the fridge after using a chair to climb on to reach the handle.

The quick-thinking toddler then went to his toy kitchen and got a plastic knife after being unable to reach the real cutlery drawer. 

He used it to spoon the yoghurt into his father's mouth until he came round and was able to take his glucose tablets.

His mother Emma, 31, from Droylsden, said she could not be prouder of her son and says things could have turned out very differently.

She said: 'He saved his life. Mark is a type 1 diabetic and has to take insulin four times a day. 

'It was a Sunday night, I needed to nip to my mum’s, which is literally two minutes around the corner by car, and I left them watching CBeebies together.

'I’d been out for about 30 minutes and when I got back they were lying on the sofa. Mark didn’t look well, so I said, "what’s going on here?"

'Lenny just turned to me and said "I saved daddy", and Mark said it was true, he had.

'He managed to feed Mark enough to get his sugar levels up and get his tablets.

'It could’ve been a completely different scenario if he’d been in bed or Lenny hadn’t done what he did. He could’ve ended up in a diabetic coma.'

Mr Jones had collapsed after his blood sugar levels had put him into a diabetic coma.

People with diabetes could fall into a coma if their blood glucose levels suddenly became very low (hypoglycaemia) or very high (hyperglycaemia).

Left untreated, a diabetic coma can be fatal. 

Most people display symptoms of low blood sugar before falling into a dangerous level, but others are unaware and get no warning signs. 

He had woke up on the kitchen floor and his levels were down to 1.1 when his wife had returned home - but they should normally be between four and seven.

She explained that no-one had ever sat down with their son to explain to him about his father's condition and what to do if something like this happened.

Mrs Jones added: 'Lenny must have seen Mark unwell in the past and watched me go to the fridge to get him food. 

'If there’s no Mars bars in the cupboard I do tend to get him a yoghurt.'

'He’s such a thoughtful and kind little boy. His older brother Oliver, who’s eight, has profound learning difficulties and he’s great with him.

'But he does have a mischievous side, a typical little boy running around at 100mph and never listening to his mum which is why it’s so much more amazing what he’s done!'
