Chandler teen Nick Gauthier uses a medical alert dog as part of his treatment plan for Type I diabetes at Banner Children's. Qupid, an English lab, is trained to detect high or low blood sugar levels simply by smelling Nick's skin.
Our camera was rolling as a the dog signaled his owner to check his levels. Sometimes Qupid can detect changes in Nick's blood sugar up to 15 minutes before a meter can, allowing Nick to intervene early to prevent the risk of diabetic seizure.
We also talked with Rachel Calendo, a dietitian, pediatric nurse practitioner and manager of the Pediatric Diabetes Program at Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. She works with Nick to help him manage his diabetes as much as possible through diet.
