As technology advances<\/a> in diabetes care with continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and AI-driven alerts, another kind of intelligence is proving just as powerful: a dog\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n

Across the country, specially trained diabetic alert dogs<\/a> are learning to detect dangerous changes in blood sugar before medical devices do, news agency SWNS reported.<\/p>\n

Kona, a 1-year-old labrador retriever in Ohio, alerts his owner, 7-year-old Kennedy Berce, to rising or falling blood sugar by gently placing a paw on her arm. Often, Kona is able to alert up to 30 minutes before the child’s glucose monitor registers a problem.<\/p>\n

After completing two months of scent detection training, Kona now works around the clock \u2014 just like hundreds of other diabetic alert dogs, according to the same source. <\/p>\n

Those who live with diabetic alert dogs<\/a> say the animals provide safety and peace of mind. For Kennedy Berce and her family, that means having a constant companion who can sense danger before anyone else knows something is wrong.<\/p>\n
