Help Gabi get a Diabetic Alert Service Dog
Donation protected
I'm Gabi Montoya and I've had Type 1 Diabetes since I was 2 years old. I've had seizures induced by hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). I now use an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (cgm) (that thing on my arm!). They work together as an integrated algorithm to help manage better, and that technology truly is wonderfully helpful, but still imperfect. Diabetic alert dogs can detect changes in blood sugar through scent and alert their person to highs and lows. I will be getting a service dog through a reputable organization that does great comprehensive training. These dogs cost a pretty penny along with funds for flights, hotels, vet etc. Any help is greatly appreciated so that I may have a great companion who works to help ensure my safety.
