[QUOTE=capecodbob;776362]Can you explain to me how a dog can save the life of a diabetic. I have several friends and family that are diabetic and they do just fine. None have a life saving dog. Maybe I should get them one? But what can a dog do to save a diabetic's life?[/QUOTE
Try a google search to answer question: "how service dogs help diabetics." They can even be trained to hit a button on a special phone to dial 911.
I know a diabetic who does NOT do just fine. He's narrowly escaped death several times. If his daughter hadn't come home when she did, he would have died last September, according to the doctor in the ER. He could benefit well from one of these dogs.
