...I know a family who has a service dog for their Type 1 diabetic child...

The State of Virginia has a program in which specially-trained dogs are given to Type 1 diabetics to alert them when their glucose readings get too low.

Well. THANK YOU for that....I had looked up service dogs before for people with diabetes because my nephew is a Type 1. Guess what...he lives in Charlottesville, VA, which is where this organization has its home base! Again, thank you! (he probably won’t do anything with it, but I’m sure going to send him the link) http://www.servicedogsva.org/index.php/learn/faq/
