Training dogs to help people with life threatening
health conditions, giving them greater independence
and above all saving their lives on a daily basis.
I recently met Claire. She has had type
1 Diabetes since the age of 13. Type 1
Diabetes develops when the body is unable
to produce the hormone insulin due to the
insulin-producing cells being destroyed.
Insulin works as a chemical messenger
that helps your body use the glucose in
your blood to give you energy.
Claire got involved with the charity
‘Medical Detection Dogs’ and had been
working with them for two years when she
applied for a dog. Magic has been with
Claire for less than six months now, but
already she says “I couldn’t imagine my life
without him”.
Magic has been trained, by an instructor,
to react to a particular smell given off when Claire’s insulin levels have fallen.
This training was done prior to Claire taking Magic in, and took six weeks
before he was ready. To do this Claire had to take a mouth swab, freeze it
and then get this to the charity so it could be used in the training. It only took
Magic half an hour to react to the swab.
Claire and Magic walk once or twice a day and when he is out with her
he wears a red jacket with the charity name on, and a sign on his lead
saying he is an ‘Assistance Dog’. Claire says “Some people come straight
up to us and make a fuss of Magic but he is ‘working’ so never stops really
checking if I am OK, so please remember to ask before stroking him,
if you see us out walking”.
