First day of school with Diabetes Alert Dog

Had to stop several people from petting her.  Usually adults, some kids that knew me.

We were in the hall, between classes, and she started pulling on the leash (our alert), in the afternoon.  I checked.  Over 180, needed 2 units of insulin.

Now, this is NOT what I trained.  I trained the dog to alert out of range.  For the past two weeks she has been doing this – alerting when I’m in range but needing insulin.

However this is not a bad thing.  I am rewarding this.  I wish I understood it.

The other weird thing is that she doesn’t go to the bathroom all day.  The room is cool and she doesn’t drink a lot of water or move around a lot.  However, she does go out as soon as we go outside at the end of the day.
