@@crackedvortex No, you just don’t go up to the dog and start petting it! I am an animal magnet, they just come to me for no reason. Even the best trained service dogs will look at me and try to come to me. I ignore them, because that is what I am supposed to do!

My daughter was 3yrs old when she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and went straight to 4 shots a day, by9yrs old she was up to 12 shots a day and that’s when she was allowed an insulin pump. She is now a healthy 24yr old woman and does so good at taking care of her diabetes. ❤️
God Bless! We have a cute 5yrs old diagnosed when she was 2yrs old! My mother also has type 1 diabetes so she’s in good hands! Just wanted to say God Belss 🙏🏼
I was in a project where we were auditing medical records for Medicare reporting at a dialysis center. Ihad to read through patient charts, doctor and nurse notes. Diabetes and kidney failure is absolutely devastating. It completely opened my eyes on what folks with Diabetes go through.
I wish my ex boyfriend’s friend had a dog like this. He’d had a lot of health problems including a massive seizure that caused brain damage he never recovered from fully. But he wanted to be independent so badly and refused to live with family. I’d even caught him in the midst of one of his attacks of low blood sugar and had to give him sugar water when he became disoriented. It was scary bc I’d never seen anything like it and wasn’t sure what to do. My knowledge of what to do came from a movie. Unfortunately his last attack came when he was home alone and he died way to young. He didn’t like me to much bc I was dating his fav friend and I guess he felt I took him away from him, but I liked him. He once gave my ex a teddy bear and it was touching how much he treasured their friendship. RIP Raymond.
🥺 Im guessing he lacked medical access. If that was the reason he couldnt get proper treatment, all blame for his struggle and tragic preventable death rests upon the those that continue denying Americans universal healthcare. If anyone thinks they have diabetes, or blood sugar issues, get checked! Its not that hard of an issue to manage/treat. Wait, sorry! 🤦♀️ Ive momentarily forgot big pharma insulin prices. Also, glucose monitoring isnt affordable for everyone. The USA is so behind the times! 😕 May Raymond rest in peace. ☁️
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 I agree but Raymond had Medicare and Medicaid bc he was disabled. His seizure caused him to become intellectually challenged. His biggest problem was he was stubborn. He had been a smart and capable guy and after becoming disabled he wasn’t able to come to terms with his disability. But most ppl with mangable conditions who die, do so bc of our abysmal healthcare system. They cut their insulin bc they can’t afford it. At the very least we need a Medicare for all system. But expanded to cover dental, eyes and hearing aids.
@Lovely Yan it was my ex’s friend, but they were/are both hard headed. Actually my ex wasn’t normally a great friend but with Raymond he was. My ex didn’t like other dudes much but he had a soft spot for Raymond. The way he was so kind to him actually made me love him more. If he’d been as nice to me he wouldn’t be my ex. 😐 But also the way we treat and think about disability in the US was a huge part of the prob. In the US being unable to work makes you seem like you have no value. It’s sad. A human’s value doesn’t come from their ability to work. It ones from how you live and how you treat others. Unfortunately our culture is pretty crappy when it comes to disability. I think that’s finally changing bc of the hard work of disability activists. But Raymond refused to live in a group home or even supported housing. He had ppl who came to check on him every day twice a day but it wasn’t enough.
@Lovely Yan I’m a socialist too. ✊🏻✊🏽I’m not worried about being called dumb af names bc I know We are ascendent. We’re winning the messaging war, it’s why the GOP is so desperate to stop the ppl from voting. I grew up poor and my mom was to proud to accept help even while she worked her body into a state of constant pain. Which is funny bc she was a socialist too, but the propaganda she grew up with kept her for asking for or signing up for help. In my area section 8 has an incredibly long waiting list and bc of gentrification, rent is insane, especially considering our min wage is only $10.10 an hour. And benefits are hard to get. Those on the right who tlk sht about how “welfare” is so full of abuse are just dumb. First of all in the US we’ll prosecute the fck out of a poor person who lies on a SS form for extra SNAP, but let corporate welfare recipients steal billions and crash the economy with only fines (that are a small fraction of the profit they made from those crimes). And worse to access these programs you have to make so little money you basically have to live with someone or be homeless. I’m not ashamed that when I had a new baby I needed snap and wic plus a few other programs, but I only was able to qualify for medical assistance by working under the table. This was right before Obamacare and I was a young mom who’d barely been making it when living with my BF. When I had to leave him bc of his abusive behavior, my choices were work under the table or live in a homeless shelter with my new baby. I had preexisting conditions and couldn’t get affordable healthcare without govt help. Republicans propagate some nonsense about the social safety net being a hammock but anyone whose ever had to use these services know what a grind it is. Propaganda has taught whole generations to not expect our tax money to be spent on we the people. They’ve been taught to think if you don’t pay income tax you don’t taxes, even while they keep shifting the tax burden onto the poor, working class and middle class. But we’re waking up. In their endless greed they pushed us to hard and to far. As long as the facists don’t take power we’re headed towards a more just country. Unfortunately right wing facism is also ascendant. They’re are a lot more of us on the side of economic justice, but facists don’t play fair and are willing to use violence in a way we aren’t used to or comfortable with. But basically I agree with you and good luck with your baby! It’s such a special time. I loved those baby years. I could only have one child bc my body apparently hates me, so I only got the one shot with babies, but fortunately for me my teenager is still my baby. But still i sometimes miss those sweet baby years.
@math ori no it wasn’t but he just didn’t seem to understand the risk. I know there where interventions to try and get him into supported housing but you can’t force someone to do something they doesn’t want to do. He suffered a brain injury bc of a seizure and his IQ dropped significantly. But not enough that he was so handicapped that he wasn’t able to function on his own. It’s actually something a lot of families go through with their disabled family members. They are disabled enough to need help but not disabled enough that they can’t function somewhat. Bc often the options are abysmal or bc of our anti disability culture, they refuse help. In some parts of the country the facilities for the disabled are absolute horror shows full of neglect and abuse. Raymond actually had access to a really good program bc we live in a blue state with decently funded programs. But bc of his pride and bc he couldn’t accept that he wasn’t able to live like he did before, he refused. It’s tragic. He did accept having staff that would come twice a day to check on him and give him his medications but he suffered a blood sugar drop during the night and died. I believe if he’s been in supported housing he may have been able to saved, but who knows. It’s hard to monitor someone 24/7. That’s why him having a service dog could have been life changing. Life saving.
My mom's diabetic and my pup just had babies and my mom wants to train her little guy to look after her illness. How are you going about getting your pup trained?
Taking a dog you already have and just "training" a previous pet as a service dog is never a good idea. They can have already developed so many pet habits a service dog can't do. There's SO MUCH more that goes into Haveing/training a service dog then tasks. The tasks/alerts are the easiest thing to train. It's the public adequate that's harder yet as equally as important. Plus a service dog prospect should be temp tested so many times as pups to insure they're capable for the job at hand. But good luck, hopefully u got him when he was temp to be a service dog and hopefully he's young enough to have a long working life and hasn't had time to form pet habits a service dog can't have. (such as begging for food, pulling, sniffing everything, wanting to see every dog passing by, etc).
The love of a dog. Nothing greater. Nothing better. Nothing more forgiving. My wife loved me when she was alive. But not as much as my doge. He is still with me now after sixteen years. My wife and I. 32.
I am 81. I have had dog and cat companions all of my life. I cannot imagine life without them; they have enriched my life tremendously. This is one more example of why we should value and respect them.
There’s a BIG difference between service dogs and companion animals! Learn the difference now that folks are trying to take companion dogs everywhere thus making it hard to take our service dog with us. Read rules from the Americans with Disabilities Act: www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/
@@ilikecatsalot4688 ha! Cats are cool too. All animals make humans better. A dog’s emotions are just easier to read and they have been right by our side for tens of thousands of years.
@math ori thank you for the most uninteresting comment I’ve read on this channel so far. Please take a moment today and go outside breath deeply and say to yourself....moving forward I will keep my low rated comments to my self because they make me sound a bit_______. #ADOPT&DONATE 🤠🇺🇸
@math ori The problem is not over-rating animals as much as it under-rating humans. I see that sentiment a lot on animal videos and I find it disturbing. Don't dehumanize each other. The biggest atrocities that happened in our history happened because of dehumanization. People can be good and can be bad same goes for animals. Just like animals cause pain when they act on their most basic instinct, we do the same.
My boyfriend has type 1 diabetes and for the nine years we were living together I learned what it was like to live with the constant anxiety you speak of, of not knowing what the blood sugar is doing. There were no continuous monitors with alarms then. We both were very deep sleepers and to make things even worse, even when his blood sugar was normal he would go into sleeps so deep that he could not wake up at all no matter what I did. To top it off there were times he would forcefully ward me off in his sleep, absolutely preventing me from even taking his blood sugar. It was a nightmare. He came close to death many times, and sometimes the doctors or ambulance medics would try to blame me, even though I was doing the best that I could possibly do. I had to give up everything in my life to be with him constantly. Eventually the government paid for nurses aides to help but they were not allowed to check his blood sugar or give him insulin. His diabetes had caused health to be very bad and aggressive polyneuropathy made him handicapped. I was living in constant anxiety for him and in constant grief about his decline. At one point during this time my Dad got Guillione Barre from a flue shot (that is what his neurologist told us) which paralysed his whole body so completely that he couldn't breath on his own and had to be on a ventilator. The neurologist had had another patient my dad's age who was paralysed just as badly and a year later she was better enough to use a walker. The neurologist had hopes that my Dad could recover as well. Then one day the nurses discovered that the glucose reader was reading zero (he had some later life type two diabetes). They got his blood sugar up but brain scans showed severe brain damage from his blood sugar being so low. We had to let him go. I found out that in the same wing of the same ICU he was in that a woman died for the same reason. According to the newspaper, who wrote an article about it, the test strips they were using were faulty and kept showing her blood sugar to be too high and so too much insulin was being used on her which caused her blood sugar to crash. The person in charge of comparing the bedside blood sugar results to the lab testing results noticed the discrepancy but failed to alert anyone about it. The hospital denied that that was the cause of my dad's blood sugar crash but I have a hard time believing that. Also, the same day that happened to my father he was being transported from the ICU to a long term recovery/care center of the same hospital but at a different location. Food bags are disconnected during transport but they failed to reconnect his food bag until toi many hours had passed, and at the same time they also failed to check his blood sugar in a timely manner as well. It was horrific and I will never get over it. To add insult to injury the hospital put Guillione Barre as the cause of his death on his death certificate. Mt boyfriend is in a nursing home now. I was unable to continue taking care of him because it got to the point where at any one time he needed two people to move him and his insurance did not pay for a 24 hr aide to help me move or rearrange him on the bed when he needed it. I didn't mean to make this so long but when you talked about the constant anxiety about your blood sugar and you and your boyfriend not being able to wake up when the alarm went off made me realise we were not alone in this. I wish you well in your life and am grateful for you that you have the help of this wonderful animal.
The only thing that I can wish is happiness for you and your boyfriend along with your close ones. I hope your boyfriend and you will be happy together nd I hope soon a cure will me made. Love you guys ❤
@@asiaroberson3442 I wanted to, not for the money, but because I needed to know what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and who was responsible. I needed for the hospital to be held responsible and not just take no responsibility for it which is what the representative of the "patient safety (or some name like that) office" did. I needed the reason for his death on the death certificate to reflect the truth and not so obviously and blatantly be a lie. To have those things done necessitated that they be sued for it, and suing costs money. So suing also for at least the cost of finding these things out would have had to be done. I had ideas for some actions that we could take to get this started: Contact the same lawyer as the woman in the paper who died the same way my dad had. She was a nun, and all I would have had to do was contact the place where she was a nun which was in the newspaper article. I think even her name was in there too. Also, the neurologist, who was very angry outright told my mom, without my mom even asking, that he would be a witness. We could have started with those two things, but my mom dragged and dragged. I found out from her later that friends from her church kind of diswayed her and that that partly influenced her. She had other fears which she really wasn't open to me about. I don't know everything that went into her lack of doing anything but the two year deadline to sue passed and we lost our chance to find out the truth forever. Not ever having closure has made it very difficult to heal.
I'm almost in my 50s. I've started owning a dog since I was a kid. Every time I lose one, I'd get so depressed. Losing the last dog I had was probably the most depressing. He passed like 5 years ago but it still makes me cry remembering him. I have stopped getting dogs, because the more joys we share the more depressing it is to lose them. Every time I watch videos like this, I never fail to think what will happen to her when her dog passes. I'm always anxious like that.
It's especially sad when a Service dog passes. 😭 But as of what will happen to her, we prepare before our dogs pass, so we have another service dog ready to go. Service dogs have to retire at old age as well, just like humans (due to phiscal or medical problems that dogs get in old age, as well as just getting old & tired and no longer able to keep up). So normally before the dog reaches retirment age, we get a prospect to start training to help us, so by the time the service dog is fully retired, we have the help we need still. So we phase one dog out and another dog in. So by the time the dog passes, we'd had been with a diffrent service dog a couple years. But that doesn't mean it's not devastating like losing any animal. But especially because they did save our lives at least 10 years, which does make it harder. But we're fine in terms of medical help bc we plan ahead knowing there will be a day for retirement & sadly passing.
I understand tha. It hurts a lot when a animal passes especially if u had a strong bond with it. But thas life thas death. It has to happen sometime. It hurts but we need to remember tha so long we remember them, they will be with us forever.
But we all know, no matter how depressing it was, we just never regret getting them back then. The joy that they brought before they left is always worth it.
Figures. Such a special dog has got to have a quirky something about him. That's one cool dog. Diabetes stinks for you but that's the coolest dog I've seen in a while. You're really lucky to have him.
I'm a TiD also and my 15 year old son became one in 2016. We both wear continuous glucose monitors. When I was younger, I played sports and constantly had lows. Back in those days, there werent CGMs so I would have seizures from being low almost 3 times a week. A service dog would have been excellent!! Now, I am such a light sleeper because of my anxiety that any little beep or bump gets me up. I get mine and my sons glucose alarms. Theres never been a quiet night. Thank god for CGMs.
Im so happy for you, animals really do help with anxiety and depression. Not saying they Cure it, but they help with the here and now and thats often what we need when we have those problems. So so happy you and your little goofball have eachother! ❤️🌹
My daughter and my nephew are both type 1 and their dogs have saved their lives more times than I can count I'm thankful everyday for these amazing animals!!!!!!
My dogs saved me from a fire they tore my back door open to get me out...I had no idea that I was about to die. Dogs love you more than you love yourself .
@Shini Gami Uh? I think it would be common sense for a dog to love someone if you show them respect and show that you cared, that also applies in real life unless you just love random people go ahead. Your last comment made no sense dogs just used you? Remember you took the dog into your life the dog is not using you unless you’re not feeding it properly or taking care of it. That’s like having a baby and saying “It’s using you” the baby can’t make food and eat it by itself you had the baby take responsibility.
@Shini Gami I’m sorry, of course dogs love humans because you take care of them. By feeding them showing love showing appreciation. Beside of course a dog would start snapping at you? Who doesn’t feed their dogs! and again how can a dog use a person when you chose to bring them into your life? Oh and it’s common sense to feed a dog? And played with them or else just give it to a person who can properly take care of a dog. And yeah that’s the difference a human can do things they can talk, they can pick up a cup. They can play games they can basically almost do anything. And yours selfish needs, don’t represent me on your sentence.
I am so sorry for everyone who suffers with this horrid illness. Your strength to live on is amazing and respectable. I love and respect these service dogs. Mankind's best friend. 🐕🦺💞 🤗
It makes me so happy to see service dogs being able to give people a peace of mind and to not worry so much so they can enjoy life more because they aren't constantly worrying about their levels.
I have had Type 1 diabetes for 54 years. I have been on an insulin pump for 19 years. No, it is not an easy disease to manage but I have never let it slow me down.
@@honcore5055 As someone with T1D using an insulin pump means you no longer need to self-administer shots, since the pump remains inserted. You use the blood glucose metre as a remote to deliver insulin, but still need to finger poke to check blood sugar levels. Different companies and models exist but ultimately every person I know experiences a huge increase in quality of life using a pump over shots. Highly recommend checking out OmniPod, it's the least bulky and easiest to use. The product was created after a father discovered his young son was diagnosed, enlisted engineers from MIT and Harvard to create a better insulin pump option.
The relationship they have is so special. He’s a great dog, adorable too, very tuned in and smart. As a type 1 diabetic with a service dog, I can affirm how incredibly sensitive my dog’s awareness and responsiveness is. Though I don’t have those kind of blood sugar episodes, if I do start to become low, she knows and immediately notifies me, because being a preoccupied human, you can’t always tell when you’re dipping, sometimes you think you’re just tired.
I too am a type 1 diabetic. Every day sucks because it always starts out with shots but you just have to live with it and find meaning in everything else. Im now in my 40s, married to a wonderful man who loves our family. We have a 12 yr old boy, who thankfully isnt diabetic. I have done my best to steer him away from diabetes. When I was younger I never thought of having a family of my own because of this but this is what God gave me. There will be better days and bad days. Best to enjoy the good ones while you still have them and learn from the bad ones May you find happiness, despite of diabetes.
my cat alerts me when my blood sugar is low he keeps meowing or even touch my face to wake up.. at first I thought it was a coincidence but it happens almost every time i get a hypo specially when I’m sleeping i love him so much 💙
38-year T1 here. When I was diagnosed in 1983 the allopaths told me “a cure is just around the corner.” After hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of anxiety I can say the medical mafia doesn’t want to actually CURE it, just release new innovative tools and drugs to manage it. Much more profitable that way.
Dogs are truly a blessing from God! Its humans make dogs bad, not breeds, stupid humans corrupt dogs. This pup is what dogs are at their core, our helpers ❤❤
I have been battling diabetes from a major portion of my life. Looking back to before I was diagnosed, I now realize that I was having symptoms. I am on various medications, as well as insulin, but still suffer hypoglycemia on numerous occasions.
@@krislust5687 it’s a Continuous Glucose Monitor! It’s basically a small device your wear on your body for 7-14 days that sends your blood sugar readings to your phone or to a receiver! I have a Dexcom g6 which updates me every five minutes and sends me alerts if I am high, low, or my blood sugar is rising or dropping too fast. There is also the Freestyle Libre. I know that other brands exist but those are the two most common in the USA
@@krislust5687 It works very well for me! The biggest cons for me are the cost (I’m very lucky and my insurance covers a good portion but a lot of people are so lucky) and my allergy to the adhesive. It has a two hour warm up period where you don’t get any readings and then the six hours following that are not the most accurate but for the rest of the 10 day period, it works very well. It has custom alarms and you can change the readings at which you will get alerts. It also has a few apps that go with it. One makes it so that someone on a different device (for me, my mother gets them) can see your blood sugar. Another one allows you to see your average blood sugars over a certain time period. There is also an app that is compatible with it called “Happy Bob” that sends you silly messages when your BG is high or low. Overall, I don’t have many complaints because it has really given me so much freedom!
And I thought my dexcom was cool. I came down with type 1 at 36 years old after a car accident killed my pancreas. I use technology to alert me for my highs and lows
The car accident didn’t kill your pancreas, the trauma from the car accident triggered an autoimmune response in your body and your body started attacking itself, or your pancreas to be more specific. It’s terrible and it can happen to anybody!! My wife lives with type 1 and it’s hard sometimes.
I think it's so awesome that you can get a service dog to help you manage diabetes! My mom never had a way to tell when she was having low blood sugar when she was asleep, except for me checking on her.
Absolutely amazing! Humans are so lucky to have dogs! They are the most incredible creatures ever! Out of all the remarkable things they can do, their true passion is to love and care for their humans, unconditionally! We are beyond blessed, to have them! 🐕🦺🐾🐶🐾🐕🐾🦮🐾🤎
My dog never really saved me from anything but when im sick she keeps my company by staying close. She has her own spot where she usually stays at on normal days. I love dogs. Truely mans best friend.

This is why it’s important to not distract service dogs. It’s not meant to be disrespectful but they’re working
Absolutely right because they have to tend to that patients who are their owners and they have to know what to do just in case of an emergency
Very true

I had preexisting conditions and couldn’t get affordable healthcare without govt help. Republicans propagate some nonsense about the social safety net being a hammock but anyone whose ever had to use these services know what a grind it is. Propaganda has taught whole generations to not expect our tax money to be spent on we the people. They’ve been taught to think if you don’t pay income tax you don’t taxes, even while they keep shifting the tax burden onto the poor, working class and middle class. But we’re waking up. In their endless greed they pushed us to hard and to far. As long as the facists don’t take power we’re headed towards a more just country. Unfortunately right wing facism is also ascendant. They’re are a lot more of us on the side of economic justice, but facists don’t play fair and are willing to use violence in a way we aren’t used to or comfortable with. But basically I agree with you and good luck with your baby! It’s such a special time. I loved those baby years. I could only have one child bc my body apparently hates me, so I only got the one shot with babies, but fortunately for me my teenager is still my baby. But still i sometimes miss those sweet baby years.
@math ori no it wasn’t but he just didn’t seem to understand the risk. I know there where interventions to try and get him into supported housing but you can’t force someone to do something they doesn’t want to do. He suffered a brain injury bc of a seizure and his IQ dropped significantly. But not enough that he was so handicapped that he wasn’t able to function on his own. It’s actually something a lot of families go through with their disabled family members. They are disabled enough to need help but not disabled enough that they can’t function somewhat. Bc often the options are abysmal or bc of our anti disability culture, they refuse help. In some parts of the country the facilities for the disabled are absolute horror shows full of neglect and abuse. Raymond actually had access to a really good program bc we live in a blue state with decently funded programs. But bc of his pride and bc he couldn’t accept that he wasn’t able to live like he did before, he refused. It’s tragic. He did accept having staff that would come twice a day to check on him and give him his medications but he suffered a blood sugar drop during the night and died. I believe if he’s been in supported housing he may have been able to saved, but who knows. It’s hard to monitor someone 24/7. That’s why him having a service dog could have been life changing. Life saving.
I’m getting my dog Milo trained to alert me for my diabetes. He’s already in tune with my ups and downs.
My mom's diabetic and my pup just had babies and my mom wants to train her little guy to look after her illness. How are you going about getting your pup trained?
@@angp7064 honestly ask a local vet or doctor
I just eyed my heeler puppy when I realized how helpful a blood sugar alert dog would be. Lol
Taking a dog you already have and just "training" a previous pet as a service dog is never a good idea. They can have already developed so many pet habits a service dog can't do. There's SO MUCH more that goes into Haveing/training a service dog then tasks. The tasks/alerts are the easiest thing to train. It's the public adequate that's harder yet as equally as important. Plus a service dog prospect should be temp tested so many times as pups to insure they're capable for the job at hand. But good luck, hopefully u got him when he was temp to be a service dog and hopefully he's young enough to have a long working life and hasn't had time to form pet habits a service dog can't have. (such as begging for food, pulling, sniffing everything, wanting to see every dog passing by, etc).
@@angp7064 Im getting professional training for him.
My son has type one. Bless her heart. I understand exactly what she is going through.
💚🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿💚
my 18year old brother got type1 too how i wish he could have it especially in the morning he needs to go varsity we are scared to let him go.
@@MamunKhan-mg9mf can you get him a CGM? I have a dexcom and it has completely changed my life
The love of a dog. Nothing greater. Nothing better. Nothing more forgiving. My wife loved me when she was alive. But not as much as my doge. He is still with me now after sixteen years. My wife and I. 32.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Korey is such a smartie 🥰😭
I am 81. I have had dog and cat companions all of my life. I cannot imagine life without them; they have enriched my life tremendously. This is one more example of why we should value and respect them.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
There’s a BIG difference between service dogs and companion animals! Learn the difference now that folks are trying to take companion dogs everywhere thus making it hard to take our service dog with us.
Read rules from the Americans with Disabilities Act:

What a beautiful story! Dogs are the best thing to ever happen to humans. I’m sorry for all you have been through. Stay strong ❤️
You said it better than I did... and a lot shorter!
I like cats
@@ilikecatsalot4688 ha! Cats are cool too. All animals make humans better. A dog’s emotions are just easier to read and they have been right by our side for tens of thousands of years.
Heart warming. Perfect proof that animals are better than most people.
@math ori thank you for the most uninteresting comment I’ve read on this channel so far. Please take a moment today and go outside breath deeply and say to yourself....moving forward I will keep my low rated comments to my self because they make me sound a bit_______. #ADOPT&DONATE 🤠🇺🇸
@math ori human beings are parasites. Most other animals are better than human beings.
@math ori The problem is not over-rating animals as much as it under-rating humans. I see that sentiment a lot on animal videos and I find it disturbing. Don't dehumanize each other. The biggest atrocities that happened in our history happened because of dehumanization. People can be good and can be bad same goes for animals. Just like animals cause pain when they act on their most basic instinct, we do the same.
@@whatever96 Well said 👏
I always tell my parents
“When I grow up, I wanna make a cure for diabetes”
And I will. I will keep that promise.....
You do it. You can do it, And you will! For all of those who feel it's relief, we shall sing your name.
I know you can do that. Good luck on this your journey!
I strongly believe you can do this! Good luck to you, my friend! ♡♡♡
I promised myself that too
To find a cure you need to know what causing it, and knowing that you can prevent it too.
Truly amazing. Not only do these dogs bring happiness but help out in emergencies.
My boyfriend has type 1 diabetes and for the nine years we were living together I learned what it was like to live with the constant anxiety you speak of, of not knowing what the blood sugar is doing. There were no continuous monitors with alarms then. We both were very deep sleepers and to make things even worse, even when his blood sugar was normal he would go into sleeps so deep that he could not wake up at all no matter what I did. To top it off there were times he would forcefully ward me off in his sleep, absolutely preventing me from even taking his blood sugar. It was a nightmare. He came close to death many times, and sometimes the doctors or ambulance medics would try to blame me, even though I was doing the best that I could possibly do. I had to give up everything in my life to be with him constantly. Eventually the government paid for nurses aides to help but they were not allowed to check his blood sugar or give him insulin. His diabetes had caused health to be very bad and aggressive polyneuropathy made him handicapped. I was living in constant anxiety for him and in constant grief about his decline.
At one point during this time my Dad got Guillione Barre from a flue shot (that is what his neurologist told us) which paralysed his whole body so completely that he couldn't breath on his own and had to be on a ventilator. The neurologist had had another patient my dad's age who was paralysed just as badly and a year later she was better enough to use a walker. The neurologist had hopes that my Dad could recover as well. Then one day the nurses discovered that the glucose reader was reading zero (he had some later life type two diabetes). They got his blood sugar up but brain scans showed severe brain damage from his blood sugar being so low. We had to let him go. I found out that in the same wing of the same ICU he was in that a woman died for the same reason. According to the newspaper, who wrote an article about it, the test strips they were using were faulty and kept showing her blood sugar to be too high and so too much insulin was being used on her which caused her blood sugar to crash. The person in charge of comparing the bedside blood sugar results to the lab testing results noticed the discrepancy but failed to alert anyone about it. The hospital denied that that was the cause of my dad's blood sugar crash but I have a hard time believing that. Also, the same day that happened to my father he was being transported from the ICU to a long term recovery/care center of the same hospital but at a different location. Food bags are disconnected during transport but they failed to reconnect his food bag until toi many hours had passed, and at the same time they also failed to check his blood sugar in a timely manner as well. It was horrific and I will never get over it. To add insult to injury the hospital put Guillione Barre as the cause of his death on his death certificate.
Mt boyfriend is in a nursing home now. I was unable to continue taking care of him because it got to the point where at any one time he needed two people to move him and his insurance did not pay for a 24 hr aide to help me move or rearrange him on the bed when he needed it. I didn't mean to make this so long but when you talked about the constant anxiety about your blood sugar and you and your boyfriend not being able to wake up when the alarm went off made me realise we were not alone in this. I wish you well in your life and am grateful for you that you have the help of this wonderful animal.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm surprised you didn't sue that hospital for your father death
Its not your fault they had no business blaming you
❤🙏
The only thing that I can wish is happiness for you and your boyfriend along with your close ones.
I hope your boyfriend and you will be happy together nd I hope soon a cure will me made.
Love you guys ❤
@@asiaroberson3442 I wanted to, not for the money, but because I needed to know what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and who was responsible. I needed for the hospital to be held responsible and not just take no responsibility for it which is what the representative of the "patient safety (or some name like that) office" did. I needed the reason for his death on the death certificate to reflect the truth and not so obviously and blatantly be a lie. To have those things done necessitated that they be sued for it, and suing costs money. So suing also for at least the cost of finding these things out would have had to be done. I had ideas for some actions that we could take to get this started: Contact the same lawyer as the woman in the paper who died the same way my dad had. She was a nun, and all I would have had to do was contact the place where she was a nun which was in the newspaper article. I think even her name was in there too. Also, the neurologist, who was very angry outright told my mom, without my mom even asking, that he would be a witness. We could have started with those two things, but my mom dragged and dragged. I found out from her later that friends from her church kind of diswayed her and that that partly influenced her. She had other fears which she really wasn't open to me about. I don't know everything that went into her lack of doing anything but the two year deadline to sue passed and we lost our chance to find out the truth forever. Not ever having closure has made it very difficult to heal.
I'm almost in my 50s. I've started owning a dog since I was a kid. Every time I lose one, I'd get so depressed. Losing the last dog I had was probably the most depressing. He passed like 5 years ago but it still makes me cry remembering him. I have stopped getting dogs, because the more joys we share the more depressing it is to lose them. Every time I watch videos like this, I never fail to think what will happen to her when her dog passes. I'm always anxious like that.
It's especially sad when a Service dog passes. 😭 But as of what will happen to her, we prepare before our dogs pass, so we have another service dog ready to go. Service dogs have to retire at old age as well, just like humans (due to phiscal or medical problems that dogs get in old age, as well as just getting old & tired and no longer able to keep up). So normally before the dog reaches retirment age, we get a prospect to start training to help us, so by the time the service dog is fully retired, we have the help we need still. So we phase one dog out and another dog in. So by the time the dog passes, we'd had been with a diffrent service dog a couple years. But that doesn't mean it's not devastating like losing any animal. But especially because they did save our lives at least 10 years, which does make it harder. But we're fine in terms of medical help bc we plan ahead knowing there will be a day for retirement & sadly passing.
I understand tha. It hurts a lot when a animal passes especially if u had a strong bond with it. But thas life thas death. It has to happen sometime. It hurts but we need to remember tha so long we remember them, they will be with us forever.
But we all know, no matter how depressing it was, we just never regret getting them back then. The joy that they brought before they left is always worth it.
Figures. Such a special dog has got to have a quirky something about him. That's one cool dog. Diabetes stinks for you but that's the coolest dog I've seen in a while. You're really lucky to have him.
i had a beautiful black lab service dog for 7 years. dog spelled backwards is G.O.D. she will forever be in my heart.
Hes absolutely adorable!!!! His little nose is sooo cute especially when he boops!!!! I hope they have long happy lives together ❤
What a blessing to have a service dog like this. Thanks for sharing about all he does for you.
I'm a TiD also and my 15 year old son became one in 2016. We both wear continuous glucose monitors. When I was younger, I played sports and constantly had lows. Back in those days, there werent CGMs so I would have seizures from being low almost 3 times a week. A service dog would have been excellent!! Now, I am such a light sleeper because of my anxiety that any little beep or bump gets me up. I get mine and my sons glucose alarms. Theres never been a quiet night. Thank god for CGMs.
Smart dog brings tears to my eyes Korey is the Bestest
How can anyone not love dogs! They’re incredible! 🥰
Im so happy for you, animals really do help with anxiety and depression. Not saying they Cure it, but they help with the here and now and thats often what we need when we have those problems. So so happy you and your little goofball have eachother! ❤️🌹
So glad you found him & he found you!
WOW. JUST. WOW!! Sooo smart & sooo sweet! ❤ What a blessing Corey is!! God bless you both.
He's precious and I'm so glad you have a little life-saving buddy to help you work your diabetes. 🙏💗🙏💗
THIS is why dogs are the greatest animals to walk the Earth! Beautiful and fantastic doggo.
What an incredible dog!
His shoes are precious
Dogs are blessings so please treat them well if you have one. We don’t deserve them 💖💕🙏🏽😭
I glad your service animal is with you on your health journey. Your dog is sweet.
VERY INTELLIGENT DOG .TGE OWNER IS LUCKY FOR TAKING CARE OF THIS DOG.
The bond between them, and this little head bops are adorable. Yes, he'll always be right.
Those shoes and socks are so adorable!
Dogs are the very best creatures in the universe!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐾
Im speechless, its amazing How he takes care of her
My daughter and my nephew are both type 1 and their dogs have saved their lives more times than I can count I'm thankful everyday for these amazing animals!!!!!!
So Prescious! Hugs To Everyone!!
The boop is so cute to me since my dog boops me when he wants attention or needs something. 💗
Its a cute and good way to he alerted 😊
My dogs saved me from a fire they tore my back door open to get me out...I had no idea that I was about to die. Dogs love you more than you love yourself .
@Shini Gami Uh? I think it would be common sense for a dog to love someone if you show them respect and show that you cared, that also applies in real life unless you just love random people go ahead. Your last comment made no sense dogs just used you? Remember you took the dog into your life the dog is not using you unless you’re not feeding it properly or taking care of it. That’s like having a baby and saying “It’s using you” the baby can’t make food and eat it by itself you had the baby take responsibility.
@Shini Gami I’m sorry, of course dogs love humans because you take care of them. By feeding them showing love showing appreciation. Beside of course a dog would start snapping at you? Who doesn’t feed their dogs! and again how can a dog use a person when you chose to bring them into your life? Oh and it’s common sense to feed a dog? And played with them or else just give it to a person who can properly take care of a dog.
And yeah that’s the difference a human can do things they can talk, they can pick up a cup. They can play games they can basically almost do anything.
And yours selfish needs, don’t represent me on your sentence.
I am so sorry for everyone who suffers with this horrid illness. Your strength to live on is amazing and respectable. I love and respect these service dogs. Mankind's best friend. 🐕🦺💞 🤗
Beautiful.
This dog is a living angel
I wish I could like this a million times.
It makes me so happy to see service dogs being able to give people a peace of mind and to not worry so much so they can enjoy life more because they aren't constantly worrying about their levels.
Aww, he's adorable!
What a good boy and props to the owners to giving their dogs to help people in need.
I love your dog. He is perfect for you. I love the socks and shoes you dress him in.♥️
I love this dog. Esp the shoes. So clever an angel. God Bless!!
Dogs are the most amazing creatures God created. ❤️❤️❤️
Samantha: Sad*

I've had diabetes for 18 years and now your telling me I can have a helpful adorable dog! That's pre cool imo
your one lucky person to have a dog that well trained to help you when something happens.
Thank you for sharing this with us. He is adorable. Take care.
God bless him for saving his owner!
I have had Type 1 diabetes for 54 years. I have been on an insulin pump for 19 years. No, it is not an easy disease to manage but I have never let it slow me down.
Do you take shots only? I’ve had type 1 for 18 years and I feel like the pump is “better” then shots but idk
@@honcore5055 As someone with T1D using an insulin pump means you no longer need to self-administer shots, since the pump remains inserted. You use the blood glucose metre as a remote to deliver insulin, but still need to finger poke to check blood sugar levels. Different companies and models exist but ultimately every person I know experiences a huge increase in quality of life using a pump over shots.
Highly recommend checking out OmniPod, it's the least bulky and easiest to use. The product was created after a father discovered his young son was diagnosed, enlisted engineers from MIT and Harvard to create a better insulin pump option.
The relationship they have is so special. He’s a great dog, adorable too, very tuned in and smart. As a type 1 diabetic with a service dog, I can affirm how incredibly sensitive my dog’s awareness and responsiveness is. Though I don’t have those kind of blood sugar episodes, if I do start to become low, she knows and immediately notifies me, because being a preoccupied human, you can’t always tell when you’re dipping, sometimes you think you’re just tired.
The cutest part is that she won't walk on floor jahahahah
Dogs are amazing there's no words to accurately describe mans best friend! Ugh looove!
It looks hilarious when dogs wears socks or shoes
Corey is so intelligent...😘
Awwwww I looooove your puppy abs I send you loving healing 💕💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing your story with Korey. He is adorable. Best of life and health to you.
It was the cute aggressive boops for me!!🥰🥰🥰
I know! He’s like “Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom! Your sugar’s too low!”
I too am a type 1 diabetic. Every day sucks because it always starts out with shots but you just have to live with it and find meaning in everything else.
Im now in my 40s, married to a wonderful man who loves our family. We have a 12 yr old boy, who thankfully isnt diabetic. I have done my best to steer him away from diabetes.
When I was younger I never thought of having a family of my own because of this but this is what God gave me.
There will be better days and bad days. Best to enjoy the good ones while you still have them and learn from the bad ones
May you find happiness, despite of diabetes.
my cat alerts me when my blood sugar is low he keeps meowing or even touch my face to wake up.. at first I thought it was a coincidence but it happens almost every time i get a hypo specially when I’m sleeping
i love him so much 💙
Such a good boy!
His trust for the ground is about the same as my trust for people 😂
He’s truly the most pure soul
Diabetes sucks. Shoutout to all diabetics out there. Keep your head up.
💙
❤
❤️
It’s tough bro I appreciate it, I was diagnosed in February
38-year T1 here.
When I was diagnosed in 1983 the allopaths told me “a cure is just around the corner.”
After hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of anxiety I can say the medical mafia doesn’t want to actually CURE it, just release new innovative tools and drugs to manage it.
Much more profitable that way.
I’m going to cry 😭! I love your dog 🐕 he is so AMAZING!!!!!! God bless you both 💜
What a precious dog ❤❤
Dogs are truly a blessing from God! Its humans make dogs bad, not breeds, stupid humans corrupt dogs. This pup is what dogs are at their core, our helpers ❤❤
Eureka! Dog shoes and socks with rubber bottoms for stability and anti-slickness. I got it now! Korey is a Kutie.
I have been battling diabetes from a major portion of my life. Looking back to before I was diagnosed, I now realize that I was having symptoms. I am on various medications, as well as insulin, but still suffer hypoglycemia on numerous occasions.
ANGELS. THAT'S ALL THEY ARE: THE REAL ANGELS.
He saves lives and is afraid of floors. Love him❤️
We need a Korey my 12 yr old daughter is type 1 diabetic
If you can’t afford a service dog, look into getting a CGM!
@@hayleymarse2853 what is a CGM?
@@krislust5687 it’s a Continuous Glucose Monitor! It’s basically a small device your wear on your body for 7-14 days that sends your blood sugar readings to your phone or to a receiver! I have a Dexcom g6 which updates me every five minutes and sends me alerts if I am high, low, or my blood sugar is rising or dropping too fast. There is also the Freestyle Libre. I know that other brands exist but those are the two most common in the USA
@@hayleymarse2853 Ok ,yes we have been looking into them lately Does it work good for you? Are there any cons?
@@krislust5687 It works very well for me! The biggest cons for me are the cost (I’m very lucky and my insurance covers a good portion but a lot of people are so lucky) and my allergy to the adhesive. It has a two hour warm up period where you don’t get any readings and then the six hours following that are not the most accurate but for the rest of the 10 day period, it works very well. It has custom alarms and you can change the readings at which you will get alerts. It also has a few apps that go with it. One makes it so that someone on a different device (for me, my mother gets them) can see your blood sugar. Another one allows you to see your average blood sugars over a certain time period. There is also an app that is compatible with it called “Happy Bob” that sends you silly messages when your BG is high or low. Overall, I don’t have many complaints because it has really given me so much freedom!
Dogs are amazing creatures who love unconditionally ❤ Genius 🙌💯
And I thought my dexcom was cool. I came down with type 1 at 36 years old after a car accident killed my pancreas. I use technology to alert me for my highs and lows
The car accident didn’t kill your pancreas, the trauma from the car accident triggered an autoimmune response in your body and your body started attacking itself, or your pancreas to be more specific. It’s terrible and it can happen to anybody!! My wife lives with type 1 and it’s hard sometimes.
Keep hanging in there. You are not alone. Diabetes is a work. You are doing great. Corey is amazing.
How I wish man could hold off going to other planets and commit those resources, (intellectual and financial) towards curing this devastating disease!
Add dementia to list....
💙💙 hopefully we can do both
@Loulou Bos cancer is type 4 diabetes and so on
I think it's so awesome that you can get a service dog to help you manage diabetes! My mom never had a way to tell when she was having low blood sugar when she was asleep, except for me checking on her.
He/She is so cute. I just wanna hug it forever
Brilliant boy saving his dog mom and looking good too...🇿🇦
God bless your dog & you !
I have type 1 diabeties and I can feel when my sugar is low and high but its really nice to have this dog
Animals are amazing I wish every animal was treated the way they deserve to be, loved, worshipped, and protected.
Absolutely amazing! Humans are so lucky to have dogs! They are the most incredible creatures ever! Out of all the remarkable things they can do, their true passion is to love and care for their humans, unconditionally! We are beyond blessed, to have them! 🐕🦺🐾🐶🐾🐕🐾🦮🐾🤎
He’s so freakin cute and really smart
korey is a intelligent lil pupper,i adore him! ing care of urself is important as well but korey amazes me
My dog never really saved me from anything but when im sick she keeps my company by staying close. She has her own spot where she usually stays at on normal days. I love dogs. Truely mans best friend.
Incredible how perceptive dogs are. They are just wonderful.
My son was 4 when he was diagnosed. I understand your life. He is a happy 16 year old who manages his disease well. Thank goodness he has not needed a service dog. I am glad you and Korey have each other. Stay strong! One of our labs does not like flooring either. He walks from rug to rug....bless his heart.
An absolute fricking angel watching over her!
