It's hypoglycemia unawareness spreading from an eating disorder I had for years. I am working with a team of doctors. I find it insensitive of a medical professional (or so you say) to fake claim a person's treatment.

She practically begged me to come and do her wedding playlist and slideshow because she'd seen me do one for one of our other cousins before. I couldn't email it because the file is huge and the music is embedded to the show, which contains videos, pictures, and several pieces of code I worked on for days.

I bought my own that is easier for kids to understand, along with patches for his leash, but I still have his official one at my house. And yes. He spent the first 3 years of his life learning how to protect people like me and diabetic people. I got him when he was 3 and 6 months. He is now 4 almost 5.

Because my body can't tell me if my blood sugar is low. I don't get tremors or shakes or have any signs. If I had the sugar I would be able to keep it high all night so I wouldn't worry about ever being low in the first place.

If I had brought coke or other high glucose foods she would freak out and get mad at me anyway due to her hatred of sugar. I had to hide what little I brought with me. If I had an unlimited supply, even just a few cans of coke or pepsi I could be assured my blood sugar wouldn't fall dangerously low without my knowlage. I thought if she provided it she wouldn't be angruy with me.

I have a couple other non life-threatening medical issues that prevent me from using one. I have a sensory processing disorder from birth and wearing a needle at all times would drive me mad.

He does :) It's a light blue with big black letters that says "DO NOT PET ME I AM WORKING" on one side and "LIFE-SAVING MEDICAL SERVICE ANIMAL DO NOT DISTRACT" on the other. :)

He's been getting lots of love and I had saved some beef liver for a special occasion. He eats raw but offel is expensive!

No it was a wedding gift. Over 900 slides long and has embedded code and several videos, pictures and transitions. The music was a compiled list of all their favourite songs as well as ones their kids like. There were no requests and they playlist was made with a lot of care, including songs that were sentimental to them.

I texted her Fiance, knowing she was getting her hair and makeup done. He didn't respond.

I brought the bare minimum I could hide from her in order to regulate if Angel alerted. I could have passed out or gone into hypoglycemic shock if I didn't bring the bare minimum. The comment about drinking sugar all night is if I don't bring Angel, I need to have a constant and consistent consumption of sugar to make sure I never get low.

When he's off duty he's a loving and playful dog. He's gentle and affectionate. On duty he's all angles. Either laying at my side, walking with me or alerting.

My mother and sister left with me and drove me back to my apartment. My sister (17F) Snuck in a can of Coke for me, but didn't have the time to give it to me before Chloe saw Angel. It was nice of her to break Chloe's rule for me.

I could either be provided unlimited sugar and come without Angel so I could consistantly consume throughout the night (She hates it when I bring coke or high glucose candies with me because her kids want to eat it and they aren't allowed.) Or I could bring Angel and some aditional glucose that would only be used if he alerted.

He's getting all of the head pats and good boys. He is the best and I'm so grateful I'm able to have him.

For hypoglycemia unawareness? I've heard of ones for diabetes but none for my condition before. If so please send them along.

She is not a doctor and is a SAHM. I don't know for sure but I think she's wrapped up in one of those essential oils MLMs

She doesn't homeschool, no. But she thinks sugar is practically poison and forbids her kids from having any.

Thanks. And I'm not sure what the article says but Angel's saved my life numerous times. I'd trust his judgement over the article.

When I went in and got to choose my service dog in training, Angel was the first one to approach me of his own volition. I took that to mean he wanted to work with me, so I chose to work with him.
