This is so cool to hear about. I've heard before that dogs could sense these things, but I didn't realize that there was formal training. A few years ago we bought a golden retriever with hopes that he could sleep with our daughter who had been having a habbit of going low which led to 2 seizures in the middle of the night, and alert us of any trouble. He didn't really help; just tore up her carpet. You mentioned local training? How does it all work. Do you buy an already trained dog? Or buy a dog; then send it to a local facility to be trained? Could you send more information or links with information on this? Thanks.

I read Ann's post about this a few weeks back and was fascinated! Our daughter is very hypoglycemic aware, but I love the idea of a buddy that can kkep watch while I sleep!!! Thanks for a great post on this. Maybe we will get to meet Gunner sometime in your office!
If you come to my Annapolis site, it may very well be possible!!! I will see my patient and his doggy CGM in about 3 months.

Oh well - we see you at Spring Valley. I think Annapolis might be a bit far. I guess we will have to get our own 4 legged CGM. :) (Could have used one last night!!)
Check out Ann Bartlett's blog as well. And, you might actually want to look into local trainers if you are really interested.
