story on hypo alert dog

Just watched it - nice piece 🙂 That dog was soooo chilled!

Was a very short piece. Absolutely fascinating what the dog can do. Bit difficult for me to comment as I've never really experienced hypo unawareness, the 'science part' could maybe have been a but better but no big clangers like we tend to see on news reports!

Loved the idea of it getting the testing kit out of the bag! 🙂

Thought it was amazing!

So lovely for the mum to know that the dog will come and wake her up if her daughter goes low in the night.

Blogged about it here: Canine CGMS - Dogs trained to detect hypoglycaemia

It is amazing wat dogs can do these days. I thought the dog ws brilliant and the little girl was lovely.

I have heard of prts alerting their owners to all kinds of things. One friend had a dog who used to alert her when she was going to have a seizure and she was able to get herself into a safe position or a safe place. her medication has changed since then and she thankfully has fewer seizures.
