- Dogs can be trained to smell when someone with diabetes has low blood sugar. 28-year-old Samantha Stocking adopted Korey when he was just 2 months old, and she’s trained him to act as her service dog. Stocking has Type 1 diabetes and Korey alerts her whenever her blood sugar is too low by nudging her leg. He will then reportedly fetch her a bottle of juice.

This is the reason why you don’t distract a service dog. Don’t pet or anything. They are doing life saving work.
You can pet - but ONLY if you ask the owner first. Do not get offended if they say no.
This goes for any dogs too. You don't know what their behavior is like or what the situation is. Always ask for permission to pet.
Have a nice day.

Never ask, they are not pets, they are medical devices. Handlers don’t want you to pet them ever.
It so annoying when people come up to me asking to pet my SD.
@@VentureHolly Because people get butt hurt when they are told not to pet a SD, they either snap and sometimes cuss the handler out. I mean it's very obvious there's either someone in a wheelchair or even a cane *HOLDING ONTO A LEASH ATTACHED TO A DOG DECKED UP IN SD GEAR* To me that's a huge neon sign don't touch, don't ask to pet, don't distract, don't bother both dog and handler, just move along like it's nothing
@@chienpo2945 No .... Just no. You never ask to pet a service dog, you don't get to pet one because it's a working dog. A dog who is there to make sure their owners don't go into a medical emergency. They are there for their handlers not us who want to pet them and coo over them on how good of a dog they are. What if we distract the dog pulling them away from their handler and he or she suddenly drops to the floor in a seizure because we lured their SD who is their alert signal that they need to do what is necessary to prevent a seizure and from hurting themselves. Service dogs are working dogs who's mission is solely to protect and alert their owners from a medical emergency, on their off days they get treats, playtime, happy time, snacks and a good rest
A few years ago, I was at the hospital for a checkup, and the cutest little service dog walked onto the elevator with her owner. It was tempting to ask to pet her but I knew better because I knew she was working. Just moments later, I felt her cold nose lightly brush up against my finger. I kept a straight face but deep down inside I was smiling ear to ear.
I know this is a informative serious training video but his alerts are really cute.
As a mom of a T1D this makes me so happy. We are in talks in our home about getting my 16.5 yo son a Diabtetes Alert Dog.
I'm a T1D myself and would highly recommend looking into the Dexcom CGM system, it hooks right up to your phone and an app and let's you know where you are by checking you every 5 minutes
Hi I am a T1D how can I get a dog?
@@mohammedbawazeer2128 you can look into some programs, but they can go up to $20k+, or train one yourself. I highly suggest looking into the second option! You can hire a trainer to help you out or completely owner train from TH-cam videos. There’s a lot of good ones!
That's some aggressive booping...😂 He's too cute.
That aggresiveness is necessary in case the owner starts fainting lol but yea I agree he's too precious
Its crazy how they can smell like this. 😮
Dog’s sense of smell are more stronger than us,human’s sense of smell.They smell everything,even when their human had diseases such as diabetes like this dog alerting his hooman about her low blood sugar.
Often people say dogs can't speak when in fact they can. They are more intuitive than any human being is. Their Blessings to each of us.
They can't speak, they can however communicate, you disappointing live laugh love poster of a human
My mom has a service dog that alerts her when she has low blood sugar, it's a 6 lb Pomeranian. Yes little dogs can be service animals and it is annoying when we go to the store and people try and say he can't be a service dog because theirs no service such a small dog can perform. He has also seemingly learned the triggers for her PTSD on his own and alerts her when someone comes or is coming into a room, or someone at the store is getting or is going to get too close to her... He is an amazing little dog I must say.
Props to the both of them
I love it. Our intelligents best friends. They are full of love.
What did we ever do to deserve dogs?
Bred them from wolves for traits like friendliness. Next question with an incredibly easy answer.
We culled off wolves/close ancestors of wolves that weren't nice to hunter gatherer ppls...while kept the nice ones that knew if they didn't bite the hand would feed them. Which over time caused selective breeding, cause the wolves that stayed with hunter gathers would breed with other wolves of similar temperament. And that process leads to domestication syndrome.
Um, yes thank you, I'm familiar with the subject of animal domestication. I didn't ask how we got them, I asked what we did to deserve them. Hypothetically, not in the literal sense but wow bless your hearts.
@Kicapu Do you realize you're continuing to provide a redundant literal answer to a hypothetical question?
@Kicapu are you talking?
This is soo good
Whats a low towel? This was perfect!
A towel with a low sugar sample of their sweat/saliva. Ketones build up when ur sugar is high or low. This smell often is said to make someone's breath fruity or bad when it is to a point humans can smell it. But a dog can sense it well before a human (we have 6million olfactory centers, they have about 100million, while the part of the brain that processes and interrupts smell is about 40 times larger than humans.) But this is great cause they can smell the changes quicker.
Who would thumbs down this? This is awesome.
The one who’s angry because this channel stole someone idea, won an oscar and don’t put any credit
@@wedawp sorry but they have trained dogs to do stuff like this for years. Or have you not heard of cancer sniffing dogs or seizure dogs?
@@captspaulding8530 have you heard of scientific research?
@@duytdl bwahahahahahahahahaha. Not the brightest lightbulb in the box
@@duytdl what scientific research are you trying to talk about? Please explain.
Precious AND lifesaving. Very good boy.
Dogs are so amazing
"Fascinating...🙂
This is how real service dogs behave.
Yep, they also can do pawing or in other cases jump up onto their handler.
@@cielonehellofaservicedog4648ANd do a quick bark.
Man we don't deserve these beautiful animals. 😢
Such a beautiful dog
Hero doggo is the heckin goodest!
Wow, Korey is so cute!:D
What is a "Low Towel" and how does it have a smell that let's the dog know? Do people give off a different scents when there blood sugar is low?
Had a friend in high school that was diabetic. His breath would start to smell really bad when his blood sugar was off.
One of the symptoms of low blood sugar is excessive sweating. So she uses a towel to collect the scent.
Oh friend, welcome to dogs. Their sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times better than ours with 300 million olfactory receptors compared to our 6 million. Even the part in their brain that analyzes smell is 40 times better. It'd be less time consuming to ask what they can't smell vs what they can.
Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics could get high levels of blood sugar when the cells of the body aren’t able to uptake the sugar for fuel. No fuel=the body starts to shut down. The body attempts to consume other lesser used sources of fuel, but a waste product of these alternative energy pathways is ketones. Ketones build up and get excreted in the breath and sweat. The smell of ketones can be a warning sign that blood sugar levels are already dangerously high. If the blood sugar problem is not addressed, hospitalization may be required.
Fascinating! Thank you for asking this question, as I wasn't sure either 😉
This is so cute.
The best boy
We dont deserve dogs 🥺🥺🥺 so cute
I absolutely love how your dog signals, it's so cute. My dog just whines at me and wont stop till I get something to eat because she knows she'll get a treat for alerting me.
This is amazing
Pretty amazing stuff
Dogs are not the only animals who alert.. I have a cat who comes and headbumps and pats at my arm with his paw if my bloodsugar is too low or too high. On several occaisions while dr is working on adjusting my meds he has come to me and pestered me until I take my bloodsugar. Each time it has been either below 70 or above or near 200.
That was nice.
❤️❤️❤️
I need a service dog right now.
Awesome Dawg
Dogs can do so much for humans .
😍
Dog is man's best friend and also woman's best friend too :)
You know it's a slow day for the news crew when they're reporting on service dogs doing their job, lol.
How do they get towels to smell?😯
It is NOT a coincidence that God spelt backwards is Dog.
You are cute ☺️. Does God only speaks English?
Praise DNUH!
("Hund" is dog in Swedish)
@@taz5488 to me, yes.
Thats an awesome shirt
What are you using for the smell please ?
„mom u is low“ 🥺
Where can I buy the kit to train my dog?
thought the dogs are specially trained
Why this is without voice?
Seriously asking
How do they well...sense a low blood sugar?
What is he smelling tho?... I mean what dose low blood sugar smell like?.
Fruity...ketones build up and can be smelled on someone's breath once concentration of ketones is so high in the body. For a dog they can smell well before a human can, so to alert their handler of the change they themselves can't feel yet.
I hear dogs can also smell cancer.
@Ferdinand Carson and when a person is going to have a seizure.
And covid.
He is so sweet 🙂
The dog just wants cookies !
Is she saying low towels?, is it like bits of clothing that she was wearing with low blood sugar?
Usually it is cotton balls, but towels work too ..it just needs to be something that can absorb sweat or saliva for a scent sample for when the person has a low or high.
So one of these dogs is for someone who experiences no symptoms of low blood sugar only? Or?
yep
@@burlhorse61NO, high blood sugar also.
What's a low towel??
@Kicapu oh.. and it's used specifically for training dogs??
Please cover Vanessa's story! And anyone reading this, please sign the petition, share and email if you're able to- info on IG @justiceforvanessarochesterny. She's a rescue pitbull in Ogden, NY who has been falsely accused of biting someone, confined for 10 months, abused, and sentenced to euthanasia. The sentencing hearing is today.
Any reason u cant just use a blood glucose monitor like a dexcom?
Dogs smell much faster.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl thats not a good reason, cgms can warn you when your about to go low, however , ive thought about it and a dog definitely has the edge if you go low while asleep and dont hear your low glucose alarm
@@Ultimate_5s There are MANY reasons to have a service dog for diabetes, not just to detect highs ans lows. Long term diabetics can lose their sense of smell and need a dog to alert to smoke and fire, they need them for mobility and balance and a few other things. And not all diabetics can use a cgm. A service dog is necessary.
They hear the alarm not the blood sugar
No, they smell the blood sugar.
Wow. Humans don't deserve to have domesticated any life let alone a canine. I still think the dogs just want the treat though. They like rewards just like humans. It's in our nature. It's all we know is risk reward.
Wait... so the towels capture your skin scent? Forgive my ignorance, thank you. Such a good boy I love Labradors.
she put a smell that resembles low blood sugar on the towel
Emergency boop
This is a well known phenomenon. People have been training dog's to do this for many years. Im not sure how this qualifies as "news".
Go away
"Well known"
I disagree. I didn't even know this.
I knew dogs have been train to help people who have seizure disorders. I didn't know about this.
WHAT
*We don’t deserve dogs*
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with type 2 diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my Diabetes with your natural Herbs
.
My bf has diabetes and a yellow lab 😂🎉😮
Why can’t you people use wearable blood sugar monitor and give these dogs some break?
Why not both?
@@glenclairefrazer7429 so when did dogs become accurate?
It's literally their job, it's what they're trained to do. If one day he/she doesn't want to work anymore then they'll retire the dog, they're are not going force the dog. And dogs are more accurate cause they can smell when their blood sugar low.
Do those monitors have soft floppy ears??
Not everyone can use those.
Interesting, but this video doesn't explain the technology very well or even at all.
"technology"? whut lol
@@bta7658 It involves technology. Technology is not just computers and robots. There is a method here that I'm not familiar with, which is technology.
@@bta7658 What do the towels do? How do they record the blood sugar content? I wasn't born knowing this info. Were you?
@@angelthman1659 there's an increase of sweating when your blood sugar is low
@@jeremywesley77 Thanks. This video could have explained that.
I bet he will go mad when he meets me.
"Wait till they get a load of me"
To see that you are the only fat man in the country
Dude, what? Like u didnt actually show us anything besides boop and sit. You could take out the word diabetic out of the video and it would make more sense
The booping is the alert to tell the owner their sugar isn't right, right now. The explanation of the low towel explains how dogs are scent trained to be diabetic alert service dogs. Does that make more sense?
learnt to manage my money through investments and it really works for me
There are so many ways to manage and prepare for a relaxing future, we just always have to keep doing our best because whatever we plant now, we will harvest later good or bad
Nice good investment is how you take charge of your financial security. It allows you to grow your wealth but also generate an additional income stream if needed ahead of retirement
interesting, I'm guessing you are an expert, can I trade through you

Nice returns how do I start
What do you mean by low towels? I have a puppy and I want to train him how to tell. Whenever my sugar is low. How do I make low towels?
My grandmother knew when her blood sugar was low. These idiots don’t need dogs.
Wrong, some people DO need the dogs. You are very ignorant.
