Dogs can act as an effective early-warning system for patients with diabetes, scientists have proved for the first time.
Research from the University of Bristol found dogs trained to respond to their owners' hypoglycaemia could alert them to impending lower blood sugars.
It was the first academic study to assess whether trained dogs could be reliably used to provide an early-warning system to monitor glycaemia control.
