Did you know that there are dogs trained to identify changes in glucose levels in people with diabetes? In this episode of DiabetesCast, we talk to alert dog trainer Glauco Lima and biologist and trainer Daniela Costa to understand how these animals can recognize, through smell, signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and how this training can contribute to increasing the safety of those living with diabetes. Throughout the conversation, you will discover: • How dogs identify changes in glucose by smell; • How the training of an alert dog for diabetes works; • How long it takes to train a service dog; • Why not every dog ​​can perform this function; • How the dog alerts the owner about a change in glucose; • The role of the glucose sensor and why it remains indispensable; • The challenges for the recognition of alert dogs in Brazil.
