don't know about cats, but I know a family who has a service dog for their Type 1 dia child. She detects metabolic changes and alerts mom to highs/lows.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised if cats had the ability, as well. (prob just not as readily trained as dogs in a global setting, though :P)

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.
