Ep. 56 – Early Alert Canines – Show Notes
Long time listeners to the podcast know Michael is diabetic and Episode 49 talked about diabetes in our pets. But today’s episode focuses on how some specially trained dogs are helping protect their human handlers who have diabetes.
Carol Edwards is the Executive Director of Early Alert Canine. She shares information about how dogs are trained to detect dangerous blood sugar levels in their diabetic handlers and how these service dogs can be literal life savers.
