My name is Mikayla and my little brother is 11 years old was diagnosed with type one diabetes in February 2011.
As many people who have an 11 year old boy in the family will know that they can be very active. This makes it very hard to regulate their blood sugar, or know what the numbers are.
Luckily spending three days in the ICU my brother found out about Diabetic Alert Dogs.
We now have Rudy a 9 month old yellow lab, who alerts to my brothers high and low blood sugars 20 minutes before the meter will tell you and from up to a half mile away. Rudy has saved my brother from diabetic seizures and comas.
Please visit my brother AJ's and Rudy's blog to learn more about Diabetic Alert Dogs, and AJ's story: http://rudycomeshome.blogspot.com/
I’m Natalie. I’m a mom of three kids, two with type 1 diabetes. As you know, parenting children with type 1 diabetes is a journey of long nights, lots of work, and seldom much support. There’s not much I can do about your long nights, but I hope our website and blogs offer you some support. I look forward to blogging with you.
