Many individuals with type 1 diabetes spend their days constantly monitoring their blood sugar levels in order to prevent symptoms of hypoglycemia. If left untreated, low blood sugar levels can lead to seizures, blackouts, and even comas. There are early symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as sweating, shaking, or confusion, however, after a few years, a person with type 1 diabetes may lose their ability to feel these symptoms as they develop Hypoglycemia Unawareness.

Living a balanced life with Type 1 diabetes isn't always easy. With the support of a diabetic alert service dog in Myrtle Beach, SC, that balance becomes a possibility. Your diabetic alert dog is a service dog you can take anywhere and who will aid you with alerting for stability, safety, and support.

    I wanted to take a moment to give all praise and recognition that is due to Mr. Steve, Mrs. Valerie and their team. I am a Type 1 Diabetic with many issues to accompany it. I have been working with Mr. Steve for a little over 7 months now training my Golden Retriever with scent work as well as obedience. This last week has really put my pup to the test and has made her show us all of the training she has received thus far. My Dexcom sensor failed and I didn't realize that I had ZERO remaining sensors on hand with no way of ordering more until January 23rd (thanks to my insurance). So we have gone way back to the old school method of finger pricks, ugh! This time last year I would have been scared for my life with not knowing the uncertainties that lurch in the night with having to revert to finger checks, however, thanks to Mr. Steve....my worries are little to none. He has helped me train Nova (my SDIT) to detect and alert when my sugars are out of range. Just the other night, if it weren't for Nova and Mr. Steve's training, guidance and support he has given us, I would have never known that I was low as I did not feel the low. She laid on top of me and began to lick my face until she woke me up from a deep slumber and we went to "Check" and "fix it". I have been a diabetic for nearly 23 years, Nova is my first SD, and I know that I never would have been able to accomplish this feat and overcome my fears of leaving my kids behind due to "not knowing if I was low" if it weren't for DTE and their tremendous team! I will never be able to say Thank you enough for all of the love, support, help and HOPE you all have given me! Savannah, thank you for being so pleasant and wonderful every time I call to schedule an appointment. You are the little ray of sunshine I need on the days when I panic schedule a month in advance! haha We will be joining our first group session soon and I can't wait to see how far we can go with all of the help from this team of wonderful people! Thank you to you all, you guys are a true blessing to us!
