What’s Better than a Blood Glucose Measuring Tattoo? A Blood Glucose Sniffing Dog!
Monday, April 13th, 2009Ran across this the other day, this is definitely a new one for me but perhaps this is old news.
In the middle of the night in a “typical” family home in Florida, a 12 year old girl, named Hunter, sleeps, while her German Shepherd, Diva, lies close by, snoozing on her own bed. All is well with the world…or is it? You see, several times during the night, Diva will get up and check Hunter’s scent. If Diva doesn’t like what she smells, she will alert Hunter’s parents…starting with a nudge, escalating to turning circles or to jumping, whatever it takes to get her job done.
A German Shepherd that can alert you of a dangerous BG, how cool is that?

While you could get a tattoo which measures your blood glucose, I can see the benefits having a blood glucose sensor you can pet (even if it isn’t as accurate)
Doggies rule indeed.
