Thank you so much again for all the reviews, they do mean a lot :)

Prompted by guest- Jason's diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.

Because jason was diagnosed when he was a child I have changed the ages for this chapter:

Robbie and Jason - 11, ziggy- 13, Freddie - 15 and Joe - 18

Chapter 4: unnoticeable:

Freddie, Ziggy, Robbie and Jason were all walking to school when all of a sudden Jason needed the toilet, again. "Fred how much longer is it before we get to school?" Jason asked as Freddie checked his watch. "About 5 minutes mate, why?" Freddie asked. "I need the loo again", Jason replied. "What", Freddie said, "you only went 10 minutes when we left the house, how can you need it now." Jason looked down at the floor.

"It'll be all that water he's drinking man", Robbie said, butting in. "What do you mean?" Jason asked. "Don't be stupid jase, you drank 2 full glasses this morning." Ziggy turned round. "Well no wonder you need the toilet jase, come on lets get you to school."

Sitting in maths Robbie couldn't but think about Jason. He was always thirsty but then always needing to go to the toilet, it just didn't make sense. "Robert roscoe will you please pay attention!", the teachers shouting pulled Robbie from thoughts. "I am paying attention, actually", he replied sarcastically. "Well what did I just say?" the teacher asked. "I don't know", replied Robbie, "and I don't care." The teacher clearly unimpressed with his attitude asked him to leave the classroom and go to isolation.

That night at the table, Sandy was having a go at Robbie. "I had your maths teacher on the phone again, Robbie", she said clearly annoyed, "she told me that she had to send you into isolation, yet again. Care to explain why that was." All of the roscoes turned to look at Robbie, except Jason. "Erm..." he started but he couldn't carry on, he just couldn't find the words. "You've only been at that school for 4 months Robbie, and you've ended up in isolation what 5 times, you're gonna end up getting kicked out." Joe said, telling Robbie exactly what he and everyone else thought.

"Jason you alright darling?", Sandy asked her youngest who looked like would fall asleep in his dinner. "Yeh", he replied, "just tired." Truth be told Jason was always feeling tired, and thirsty, but then he always seemed to need the toilet, especially at night. Like last night he went to the toilet 5 times and then when he woke up he still needed it. Jason just put it down to his body going through a rough patch, that's what he told himself.

"You know what jase, I swear that Mrs Hillbrough has it in for me. In every maths lesson she finds something to criticize me on or shout at me for, it's well annoying." Robbie said as he walked into his and Jason's room unaware that Jason was fast asleep. Robbie turned round. "Jase are you alseep, jase" Robbie said shaking his brother. Jason just grunted and turned over, Robbie just sighed." God jase it's only half seven." And he with that he left the room unaware of what was really going on with his brother.

Robbie was woken up yet again at the sound of Jason going to the toilet, that had got to be the sixth time that night. Robbie knew he needed to tell someone, he was worried about Jason. He was always tired, even though he was getting like 12 hours sleep, and seemed to be thirsty and needing the toilet. However, more recently Robbie had noticed that the cut on Jason's knee from when he fell of his bike about a month ago still hadn't healed. And it didn't look like it was gonna heal anytime soon, Robbie knew exactly who he was going to talk to.

It was a Saturday which meant that Robbie could just chill out and do whatever he wanted. But there was little thing that Robbie knew he had to do. While Jason was in their room doing homework, Robbie went over to Freddie's room and knocked on the door.

"What", Freddie answered sternly calling Robbie in. He was in the middle of an essay and did not need interrupting by his little brother. "What do you want?" Freddie asked as he turned round to face Robbie. "It's about jase, I'm worried about him."

"What so you're saying that he falls asleep at like 7:30, then wakes up at 7:30 the next day so he gets twelve hours sleep and he's still nearly dropping off in lessons?" Freddie half asked half said. "Yep", Robbie replied who didn't want to believe what was actually happening. "And he's bruising more easily", Robbie added although it didn't make the situation any better. "Listen okay", Freddie began and Robbie nodded his head, "we keep an eye on him, especially when we're at school, okay." Robbie nodded and left the room.

Jason was sitting downstairs with Joe when he needed the toilet again. He got up ignoring the look Joe gave him and went the bathroom."You alright jase?", Joe asked when Jason came back downstairs. "Yeh", he replied and flopped back down on the sofa. "

"Boys, teatime!", Sandy shouted, the sound of thundering steps echoed throughout the house and within seconds four of sandy's boys were around the table. "Where's Jason?" she asked looking at Joe."He was in the living room before, I'll go and get him", he said standing up and leaving the table.

"Jase tea's ready you know", he said walking into the living room. "Jase, are you asleep", he said walking over to a sleeping Jason on the sofa. "Jase", he said gently shaking him, "jase come on you've gotta wake up mate, your tea's ready." Jason stirred slightly and slowly opened his eyes, then stared at Joe in confusion. "You feel asleep mate", Joe said filling in the blanks for Jason. Jason nodded and slowly sat up.

"What are you two doing in there?", Sandy asked walking into the living room, to see a sleepy Jason still lying on the sofa with Joe crouched down next to him. "He fell asleep mum, looks like this kids been staying up too late", Joe said patting Jason's back as he got up off the sofa and went into the dining room.

Walking back into the dining room, Sandy sighed. "Now we can get back to eating", she said sitting down. "So what happened then?", Robbie asked. "Looks like the kid hasn't been getting enough sleep, he fell asleep on the sofa", Joe said."What", Robbie replied starting to get confused, "but he gets like 12 hours sleep every night." Freddie shot Robbie a worried glance.

Monday rolled around and Robbie and Jason both had pe. Robbie loved pe, he was good at it and enjoyed nearly everything they did. Jason on the other hand didn't enjoy pe, he was wasn't that good at it and just didn't seem to enjoy sports a much as Robbie did. However that still meant he had to it.

"Have you got your football kit?", Robbie asked Jason as they walked down the corridor to the changing rooms. "Yep", Jason replied, "can you look after this a minute, I'm going to the loo", Jason said as he handed Robbie his kit. "Jase you only went like half and hour ago you can't need now", Robbie said, but Jason didn't hear him so he just went into the changing room.

Jason arrived a few minutes later and got his kit off Robbie. As Jason was getting changed, Robbie just stared in shock. Since when did his brother get so thin, he had no fat or muscle on him. He was just skin and bones. Robbie knew something was definitely wrong, except Jason always ate so it just didn't make sense. Robbie decided that in this lesson he was gonna try and be on the same team as Jason just keep an eye on him.

Robbie did manage to get on the same team as Jason, much to his relief. He even managed to be next to Jason as they were both playing defence. Robbie looked at Jason, he looked pale, tired, exhausted to be exact, Robbie didn't want him to strain himself.

Mr Cargill sounded the whistle and the game was off. Even while Robbie was diving after the ball and tackling everyone he still kept an eye on Jason. He noticed that Jason wasn't doing anything and whenever he ran after the ball he just didn't seem to have enough energy.

"Come on Jason, get stuck in!", Mr Cargill shouted. Jason sighed, he was trying his best, really but he just didn't have the energy. Suddenly Jason's vision started to go blurry and he started to wobble a bit and lose his footing until he fully collapsed. "Jase!", screamed Robbie, was the last thing Jason heard.

"So what is it then doctor?", Sandy asked. She had been terrified when the school had phoned and said Jason has collapsed, she did what any mother would've done and feared the worst. When she got to the hospital all of her boys were already there and all she wanted was to see her baby. He woke up and Sandy was there and promised to find out what had caused this and that's was exactly what she was doing.

"Mrs Roscoe it appears that Jason fell into diabetic ketoacidosis, as we have taken a urine sample we have found a large number of ketones in it. This indicates type 1 diabetes." Sandy gasped she didn't think Jason had got that bad. "So what now then?", Sandy asked. "Well the treatment is quite straight forward, Jason will need to take insulin injections using an insulin pen. Some will be short lasting, some will be long lasting and he will need 4 of them a day. Along with this, Jason will also need to monitor his blood sugar levels just in case they get to low or too high, I will get our diabetes team to show you and your family how to administer the injections, Mrs Roscoe."

And with that Sandy left the room just thankful that they'd found out what was wrong with Jason.
