Can dogs smell when a human’s blood sugar levels are off? If they can, how can people living with T1 diabetes use this to their advantage? Joining us to discuss her unique perspective on Diabetic Alert Dogs is KC Owens, the founder of Tattle Tail Scent Dogs…

KC dealt with an array of autoimmune issues until she was officially diagnosed with diabetes in 2000. When changing her diet, increasing exercise, and taking medications didn’t work, she noticed a significant change when her dog recognized her high and low blood glucose levels. Years later, she has used this discovery to optimize her own health – and focused her attention on helping others manage the challenges of diabetes through the unique abilities of their dogs.

In this conversation, we explore: 

• How dogs react to abnormal blood glucose levels. 
• The ways that alert dogs warn their human counterparts. 
• What the application process for Diabetic Alert Dogs looks like. 
• How high and low blood sugar feels.
