The girl had a strange illness that made her hair grow as long as Rapunzel

A young girl in England had a rare disease that caused her hair to grow unusually fast and long, like Rapunzel in Disney's famous animated film.

Sophie Fieldhouse (6 years old) became famous for her long blonde hair about to touch her ground. Her hair started to grow quickly when she used hypoglycemic drugs.

According to doctors, Sophie has a congenital disease, a very rare form of diabetes called hyperinsulinism . This causes hypoglycemia and is potentially fatal.

According to the Daily Mail, one of the rare treatments for this disease of Sophie is a drug called Diazoxide . Because of this medicine, her hair grows longer than usual.

Sophie 's parents found out that she had a strange illness only in about 50,000 people around the world when she was 18 months old. More than a dozen sick children like Sophie have used new therapies to take fish oil. Fish oil in capsule form is similar to cod liver oil.

The treatment was very successful and now Sophie stopped taking Diazoxide.

Her mother, Amanda Turner, 37 said: 'We were very scared when we saw that the lack of blood sugar greatly affected her. She often felt hungry and at that time her body trembled. When going to school, long hair causes some inconvenience to her in studying and playing sports. "

'However, the new treatment has worked well. We hope that children with diseases like Sophie are treated according to the same treatment as my child. "
