~~**Capt'n Crunch the Diabetic Alert Dog**~~ Our journey with our Diabetic Alert Dog and Type 1 diabetes. This page is to share with friends and faimily the journey of Gavin's and his Diabetic Alert Dog.

Gavin is 8yrs type 1 diabetic since sept 18th, 2008. Gavin unfortunately suffers from hypoglycemic unawareness. Relying on fingerstick blood sugars and the Dexacom (continous glucose monitor), we still feel a sense of uneasiness and fear of that , unrecongnized life threating low in the middle of the night. Having read numerous testimonials regarding the use of D.A.D's(Diabetic Alert Dogs), we have made the decision to pursue that "Just right lifesaver." May we enlist your help on this quest? We thank you in advance for your sincere consideration and generous donation to our cause and Gavin's dream. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Today was Crunch's birthday. He didnt take the day off ...or even miss a beat!! 4 alerts and ton's of persistance. 2 high alerts and two low. Alerted just now to a low while giving his brothers a bath and was pacing back and forth from Gavin to me. I said go check Gavin. Finally Gavin's friend (9yrs old) said umm your dog wants you to check your sugar. Blood sugar 95 with 3.2 units on board to drop him over 300 points. Great Low buddy!!! Love him!!

Ok now it was time for me to let Crunch alert to Gavin's sitter while I work. So I told her to wear the bringsel and when he alerts check Gavin. Well within 30 minutes he grabs bringsel off her belt..and bows. She went and checked Gavin 210 with 2.19 unit on board. Great low. He blows me away with his brilliance!!

Crunch alerted from the sidelines at football practice. Gavin was high and need some insulin. Blood sugar 356. 85 degree's and intense exercise...adrenline got us tonight. Small bolus of insulin and rocking a 185 right now. Love our furry boy. Great high...from half a football field away!! Love him!!!

Yesterday I alerted to my boy while he was on the football field a low with too much insulin on board. Then a newly diagnosed 9 yr olds mom comes up to introduce herself and I started to alert for a low. Well he boy (t1) was on field but she was holding his meter. Mom asked if he was low and sure enough he was fighting lows all day. She had old used strips in her meter case.

Crunch was in his kennel taking his afternoon break/nap as I hear him bark w a low tone. I let him out he grabs bringsel and bows. I tell Gavin to check his blood sugar. He is 132 with 1.9 units on board. 1 units drops him 100 point. FANTASTIC LOW Buddy!!!! LOVE HIM!!!!
