We have decided to make a change in our lives. With two T1 diabetics
in the house, we have to be always on our toes (and their fingertips). Like many
other T1 families, we spend many hours worrying, and lose many hours of sleep
over T1. So for a little peace of mind and hopefully less worry, we have
decided to get a Diabetic Alert Dog (DAD). We have a friend in town who got her
DAD in February and has found it to be a wonderful experience.
This is Perseus, our friend's DAD.
We are going to be getting our dog from Warren Retrievers /
Guardian Angel Service Dogs. DADs are able to smell the changes in blood sugar
and can alert a diabetic to a high or low even before it registers on the
glucometer. As MH and EJ’s sugars are all over the place, I’m sure that
whatever dog we get will be working hard all the time. For more info on DADs,

To donate to our DAD please contact us or Warren Retrievers.
I am going to try to keep updates here about fundraising and
where we are in the process. Also follow us on facebook D.A.D.s for Kids.
