Dogs Sniffs Out Diabetes Threat And Saves a Boy’s Life
But That’s Not All
What’s even more shocking is that a high-tech sensor which was implanted below the boy’s skin and whose purpose was the monitoring of glucose, didn’t take any notice at all of the drastic change. So, in this case, a live organism beat the synthetic mechanism. Thanks to the more reliable nose of Jedi, they were able to save his young owner in time. They gave him a glucose tab which boosted his blood sugar in no time. What’s further amazing is that when the boy asks his dog whether his glucose level is low or high at the moment, the canine actually nods his head to mean ‘low’. This marvelous hound had become a member of this family when he was just a puppy. This was right after their son was diagnosed with having type 1 diabetes. Jedi was trained from an early age to sniff out whether Luke’s levels are too high or too low. In other words, he became a diabetes alert dog. But, according to Luke’s mother, this isn’t the only thing he does. He is also there for Luke to soothe him when he is feeling scared. He is truly a wonderful companion, and as Luke himself stated, they are inseparable. Source: Good News Network
