Dogs Can Diagnose Low Blood Sugar Levels

If someone you know is a diabetic, you know how important it is to respond quickly when blood sugar levels start to drop. Fortunately, dogs can help detect falling levels before you even know it’s happening. In fact, one study found that more than 1/3 of dogs possessed this special talent.

These dogs displayed changes in behavior when their owner’s glucose levels fell. The science is a bit of a mystery, but minute muscle tremors or slight changes in your scent may provide the clues they need to alert you to the impending danger.
