My Golden, Pepper is a fantastic dog!!!
Fell asleep watching TV this evening. She woke me up. Felt groggy and a little dizzy. Prancing, she led me to the bathroom where the blood sugar meter is. Checked and was low. Gave her her favorite treat a Milk Bone dental chew and had a snack myself. Hadn't eaten dinner before i fell asleep. So thrilled! What a great dog!
Have never discouraged her when she wakes me. Praise her and give her favorite treat if my sugar is low. She only woke me if she needed outside. When I wake and felt like my sugar was low would have her get up and go with me to the bathroom where I keep my meter. The give her a treat. After only a couple of times she woke me instead of me waking myself. This is the 5th time she has waken me with my sugar low. It's the second time that she has led me to the meter.
Have been studying up on how to train her to be a Diabetic Alert Dog. If I am awake I can feel when my sugar is getting low. The problem is when I am asleep or fall asleep when my sugar starts dropping. So far she is doing GREAT!
