What is a Diabetes Alert Dog?
A diabetes service dog is is trained to alert for highs and lows that occur in Diabetics. They are also trained to retrieve third party support, retrieve food and medication and dial for help on a special device. Yes, they are trained to keep the life of a Diabetic stable and safe. What is not so obvious is their contribution to creating independence and peace in the lives of those affected by diabetes and their caretakers. As service dog providers, we’ve seen Diabetic Alert Dogs changes lives.
In this Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers testimonial, we find a juvenile Diabetic, Matt and his family coping with constant diabetes care. In the beginning of the film, we see that Matt’s mother was slightly skeptical in investing in a service dog for diabetes. Upon witnessing the miracle that a diabetes dog can bring, the family immediately set out to fund raise for a service dog. Soon thereafter, Pilot was introduced into their households as a Diabetic Alert Dog.
How does Pilot Help Matt Live a Better Life?
For any Diabetic, highs and lows will always be something to fear. As someone who requires diabetes care from his parents, Matt is never free from having his family check him for these high and lows. With the introduction of Pilot, Matt’s mother and father are now able to loosen their grip in diabetes care. For Matt, this means increased independence,and more safety. Pilot is always there to alert, long before a high or low hits Matt. The independence a diabetes service dog provides is invaluable. Before Pilot, Matt’s mother worried about his growing into a normal child:
Pilot fills in the gap that is presented between diabetes, safety and independence. Through Pilot, Matt is now able to live life a normal child and increase his safety.
