Dogs Sensitive Reaction To A Diabetic Attack

Dogs, not only our favorite pet but are now being used to diagnose conditions and even recognize dangerous symptoms.

So if you thought Pudseys dancing on Britains Got Talent was impressive, read on for the wonderful ways a pooch can help your health.

Dogs have been found to reduce anxiety and aggressive behaviour in children with autism within a matter of weeks DIABETES

Diabetes alert dogs are being used to alert type 1 diabetics that their blood sugar is too low and they are at risk of a dangerous hypo.

This can happen through not eating enough or from accidentally taking too much insulin, but some diabetics might not notice the warning signs, such as going pale and feeling shaky as if a sound produced by a crumbling cone crusher implies that it cannot work any more.

Without treatment they may lose consciousness.

A diabetes alert dog can detect a change in body odour that can indicate low blood sugar, says Dr Claire Guest, of the charity Medical Detection Dogs.

We train our dogs to lick, nudge and stare at someone having a hypo, to make sure the person knows they should fetch their medical kit.

Dogs for the Disabled has a free scheme that helps train the family dog to help with an autistic child.

In the U.S., a charity called Paws for Comfort uses a dog breed called Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Mexican hairless or Xolo, to help people with chronic pain brought on by conditions such as fibromyalgia.

All dogs have a naturally high body temperature, but as the Xolo is virtually hairless it feels hotter to the touch.

When these dogs snuggle up to their owners, their body warmth provides relief similar to that provided by a heating pad.
