Allison's Story
Diabetes Hypo Alert Dog

My daughter Allison is eighteen years old and was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of twelve. She has been taking insulin for the past six years, but still suffers from low blood sugar attacks that often lead to grand mal seizures. Needless to say Allison’s episodes are very frightening for all of us. She wears an early warning device that will alert her of changes in her blood sugar, but occasionally the device does not work properly.

Bedtime is a very stressful time for Alison and our family. Allison’s blood sugar can and has dropped during the night causing her to have a seizure. There is also the risk of Alison falling into a diabetic coma. We decided as a family that we needed a second line of defense for Allison, especially when she is alone or going to sleep. We discovered research about a “Hypo-Alert Dog.” A Hypo- Alert dog is trained to detect changes in a persons blood sugar levels by their scent. Fortunately, Our family dog Ringo qualified for the type of service training we needed. Ringo is a two year old hound mix with just the right temperament and intelligence for service dog training.

Ringo went for several weeks of training with Canines 4 Hope. We live in close proximity to his facility so a Canines 4 Hope service dog trainer came to our house twice a week until Ringo's training was completed. It has now been four months since Ringo finished his service dog training, and he has alerted Allison on three occasions to a blood sugar drop of less than forty.

Our family is now able to sleep soundly at night. The additional confidence Ringo now provides gives us the second line of defense we so desired. Allison is going to school in the fall and we have received permission from the University for Ringo to accompany her. Making Ringo a service dog is the single best decision we have made for our daughter.
