Diabetic Alert Dogs can help an individual better manage the lows and highs of their blood sugars and help ensure success in the management of diabetes. When a diabetic person has a hyperglycemic event, their body produces ketones. People with type 1 diabetes do not have enough insulin, a hormone the body uses to break down sugar (glucose) in the blood for energy. When glucose is not available fat is broken down instead. As fats are broken down, acids called ketones build up in the blood and urine. In high levels, ketones are poisonous. This condition is known as Ketoacidosis. When a diabetic person has a hypoglycemic event their body enters a catabolic state in which amino acids are used for energy. It is important to realize that with chronic or repeated hypoglycemia, the body does not respond as vigorously, so any hypoglycemic individual may display mild symptoms, or even experience no appreciable symptoms. These scents (Ketones and catabolic state) are given off by the body during hypo/hyperglycemic events. While imperceptible to the human nose, the dog's olfactory sensory perceptions can easily discriminate these vapors from their environment. Diabetic Alert Dogs are trained to give an active alert when the scents are present. The Diabetic Alert Dog is always working day or night and on alert for low and high blood glucose levels. A Diabetic Alert Dog is NOT a replacement for testing and should not be relied upon as your primary tool for monitoring your blood sugar. In fact you may be testing more frequently because your dog will be alerting to lows and highs you may have missed. Studies show that tight control of blood glucose can prevent or delay problems with the eyes, kidneys, nervous system, and heart in type 1 diabetes.
