Diabetes Alert Dog
Donation protected
I am trying to raise money for myself so that I can live a nice long happy life with my family. I have two young beautiful little girls and a wonderful caring husband that I adore. I am needing this money to purchase a diabetic alert dog. I currently have type 1 diabetes. For those of you who don't know, it is a auto immune disease and differs from type 2 by the main fact that I can never get rid of it. And the only way I can manage it is with insulin. I wear a insulin pump now-but after having this for a year I have come to realize that this alone is not enough to prevent me from having seizures due to low blood sugar levels. I need additional help with being able to notice low blood sugars in time, so that I can act accordingly and prevent any more "episodes". These dogs are trained to wake you up, or notify you of a low blood sugar level-which is exactly what I need because my levels have a tendency to drop at night when I'm sleeping. Having one of these dogs will just be another key to help me stay healthy and help monitor my blood sugar. My husbands job requires him to be away a lot of the time and I don't always have someone here to help me in the event of an emergency. After paying for the medical bills for this alone, I need all the help I can get with purchasing one of these dogs. Thanks so much for even taking the time to read this and hear my story! God bless :)
