Victoria Hare, a 41-year-old from Oakham, claims to have the ability to sense when her children are seriously ill through smell. When her son Harry began to smell of nail varnish remover in October last year, she suspected diabetes and rushed him to hospital, where doctors confirmed he was close to diabetic ketoacidosis.
A mum claims she used her ability to smell illnesses to sniff out that her son's life was at risk even when docs dismissed him - as he began to stink. Victoria Hare says she has always had the ability to sense when her children are seriously unwell through the power of smell.
However, Victoria, who lives in Oakham, Rutland, was unable to get a GP appointment to confirm her suspicions - so used a device to measure his blood sugar levels, which were 'sky high'. Victoria, who works as a yoga teacher and dreadlock artist, rushed Harry to Peterborough City Hospital where doctors said he was close to diabetic ketoacidosis - a serious complication of diabetes that can be fatal.
"I asked Harry if he'd been unwell recently or if there's any bugs going around but he said no. I could just smell this smell on his breath, he doesn't have to be dead close to me to smell it. It was very strong. The following few days, Victoria said her son 'stank' of acetone as well as complaining of being thirsty and getting up to go to the toilet in the night - confirming her fears that he may be diabetic. Victoria said she rang her local GP but was told his symptoms were 'not an emergency' and to call back next week.
Harry was rushed to Peterborough City Hospital where he was admitted for two nights and diagnosed with type-1 diabetes after nearly losing his life. Victoria said: "Luckily I had brought him in just in time. When you go into diabetic ketone ketoacidosis, your organs start to shut down. People die from that.
