Even the best trained service dogs will look at me and try to come to me. I ignore them, because that is what I am supposed to do! It is funny because people will ignore a disabled person who needs help opening a door or getting an item from an upper shelf. But, if the have a service animal people just come right on up to that animal.

[@ChronicallyRollingWithIt]

Taking a dog you already have and just "training" a previous pet as a service dog is never a good idea. They can have already developed so many pet habits a service dog can't do. There's SO MUCH more that goes into Haveing/training a service dog then tasks. The tasks/alerts are the easiest thing to train. It's the public adequate that's harder yet as equally as important. Plus a service dog prospect should be temp tested so many times as pups to insure they're capable for the job at hand. But good luck, hopefully u got him when he was temp to be a service dog and hopefully he's young enough to have a long working life and hasn't had time to form pet habits a service dog can't have. (such as begging for food, pulling, sniffing everything, wanting to see every dog passing by, etc).

[@Comrade_mommy]

I wish my ex boyfriend’s friend had a dog like this. He’d had a lot of health problems including a massive seizure that caused brain damage he never recovered from fully. But he wanted to be independent so badly and refused to live with family. I’d even caught him in the midst of one of his attacks of low blood sugar and had to give him sugar water when he became disoriented. It was scary bc I’d never seen anything like it and wasn’t sure what to do. My knowledge of what to do came from a movie. Unfortunately his last attack came when he was home alone and he died way to young. He didn’t like me to much bc I was dating his fav friend and I guess he felt I took him away from him, but I liked him. He once gave my ex a teddy bear and it was touching how much he treasured their friendship. RIP Raymond.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

🥺 Im guessing he lacked medical access. If that was the reason he couldnt get proper treatment, all blame for his struggle and tragic preventable death rests upon the those that continue denying Americans universal healthcare. If anyone thinks they have diabetes, or blood sugar issues, get checked! Its not that hard of an issue to manage/treat. Wait, sorry! 🤦‍♀️ Ive momentarily forgot big pharma insulin prices. Also, glucose monitoring isnt affordable for everyone. The USA is so behind the times! 😕 May Raymond rest in peace. ☁️

[@Comrade_mommy]

@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 I agree but Raymond had Medicare and Medicaid bc he was disabled. His seizure caused him to become intellectually challenged. His biggest problem was he was stubborn. He had been a smart and capable guy and after becoming disabled he wasn’t able to come to terms with his disability. But most ppl with mangable conditions who die, do so bc of our abysmal healthcare system. They cut their insulin bc they can’t afford it. At the very least we need a Medicare for all system. But expanded to cover dental, eyes and hearing aids.

[@Comrade_mommy]

@Lovely Yan it was my ex’s friend, but they were/are both hard headed. Actually my ex wasn’t normally a great friend but with Raymond he was. My ex didn’t like other dudes much but he had a soft spot for Raymond. The way he was so kind to him actually made me love him more. If he’d been as nice to me he wouldn’t be my ex. 😐 But also the way we treat and think about disability in the US was a huge part of the prob. In the US being unable to work makes you seem like you have no value. It’s sad. A human’s value doesn’t come from their ability to work. It ones from how you live and how you treat others. Unfortunately our culture is pretty crappy when it comes to disability. I think that’s finally changing bc of the hard work of disability activists. But Raymond refused to live in a group home or even supported housing. He had ppl who came to check on him every day twice a day but it wasn’t enough.

[@Comrade_mommy]

@Lovely Yan I’m a socialist too. ✊🏻✊🏽I’m not worried about being called dumb af names bc I know We are ascendent. We’re winning the messaging war, it’s why the GOP is so desperate to stop the ppl from voting. I grew up poor and my mom was to proud to accept help even while she worked her body into a state of constant pain. Which is funny bc she was a socialist too, but the propaganda she grew up with kept her for asking for or signing up for help. In my area section 8 has an incredibly long waiting list and bc of gentrification, rent is insane, especially considering our min wage is only $10.10 an hour. And benefits are hard to get. Those on the right who tlk sht about how “welfare” is so full of abuse are just dumb. First of all in the US we’ll prosecute the fck out of a poor person who lies on a SS form for extra SNAP, but let corporate welfare recipients steal billions and crash the economy with only fines (that are a small fraction of the profit they made from those crimes). And worse to access these programs you have to make so little money you basically have to live with someone or be homeless. I’m not ashamed that when I had a new baby I needed snap and wic plus a few other programs, but I only was able to qualify for medical assistance by working under the table. This was right before Obamacare and I was a young mom who’d barely been making it when living with my BF. When I had to leave him bc of his abusive behavior, my choices were work under the table or live in a homeless shelter with my new baby. I had preexisting conditions and couldn’t get affordable healthcare without govt help. Republicans propagate some nonsense about the social safety net being a hammock but anyone whose ever had to use these services know what a grind it is. Propaganda has taught whole generations to not expect our tax money to be spent on we the people. They’ve been taught to think if you don’t pay income tax you don’t taxes, even while they keep shifting the tax burden onto the poor, working class and middle class. But we’re waking up. In their endless greed they pushed us to hard and to far. As long as the facists don’t take power we’re headed towards a more just country. Unfortunately right wing facism is also ascendant. They’re are a lot more of us on the side of economic justice, but facists don’t play fair and are willing to use violence in a way we aren’t used to or comfortable with. But basically I agree with you and good luck with your baby! It’s such a special time. I loved those baby years. I could only have one child bc my body apparently hates me, so I only got the one shot with babies, but fortunately for me my teenager is still my baby. But still i sometimes miss those sweet baby years.

[@Comrade_mommy]

@math ori no it wasn’t but he just didn’t seem to understand the risk. I know there where interventions to try and get him into supported housing but you can’t force someone to do something they doesn’t want to do. He suffered a brain injury bc of a seizure and his IQ dropped significantly. But not enough that he was so handicapped that he wasn’t able to function on his own. It’s actually something a lot of families go through with their disabled family members. They are disabled enough to need help but not disabled enough that they can’t function somewhat. Bc often the options are abysmal or bc of our anti disability culture, they refuse help. In some parts of the country the facilities for the disabled are absolute horror shows full of neglect and abuse. Raymond actually had access to a really good program bc we live in a blue state with decently funded programs. But bc of his pride and bc he couldn’t accept that he wasn’t able to live like he did before, he refused. It’s tragic. He did accept having staff that would come twice a day to check on him and give him his medications but he suffered a blood sugar drop during the night and died. I believe if he’s been in supported housing he may have been able to saved, but who knows. It’s hard to monitor someone 24/7. That’s why him having a service dog could have been life changing. Life saving.

[@donnaknudson7296]

My boyfriend has type 1 diabetes and for the nine years we were living together I learned what it was like to live with the constant anxiety you speak of, of not knowing what the blood sugar is doing. There were no continuous monitors with alarms then. We both were very deep sleepers and to make things even worse, even when his blood sugar was normal he would go into sleeps so deep that he could not wake up at all no matter what I did. To top it off there were times he would forcefully ward me off in his sleep, absolutely preventing me from even taking his blood sugar. It was a nightmare. He came close to death many times, and sometimes the doctors or ambulance medics would try to blame me, even though I was doing the best that I could possibly do. I had to give up everything in my life to be with him constantly. Eventually the government paid for nurses aides to help but they were not allowed to check his blood sugar or give him insulin. His diabetes had caused health to be very bad and aggressive polyneuropathy made him handicapped. I was living in constant anxiety for him and in constant grief about his decline. At one point during this time my Dad got Guillione Barre from a flue shot (that is what his neurologist told us) which paralysed his whole body so completely that he couldn't breath on his own and had to be on a ventilator. The neurologist had had another patient my dad's age who was paralysed just as badly and a year later she was better enough to use a walker. The neurologist had hopes that my Dad could recover as well. Then one day the nurses discovered that the glucose reader was reading zero (he had some later life type two diabetes). They got his blood sugar up but brain scans showed severe brain damage from his blood sugar being so low. We had to let him go. I found out that in the same wing of the same ICU he was in that a woman died for the same reason. According to the newspaper, who wrote an article about it, the test strips they were using were faulty and kept showing her blood sugar to be too high and so too much insulin was being used on her which caused her blood sugar to crash. The person in charge of comparing the bedside blood sugar results to the lab testing results noticed the discrepancy but failed to alert anyone about it. The hospital denied that that was the cause of my dad's blood sugar crash but I have a hard time believing that. Also, the same day that happened to my father he was being transported from the ICU to a long term recovery/care center of the same hospital but at a different location. Food bags are disconnected during transport but they failed to reconnect his food bag until toi many hours had passed, and at the same time they also failed to check his blood sugar in a timely manner as well. It was horrific and I will never get over it. To add insult to injury the hospital put Guillione Barre as the cause of his death on his death certificate. Mt boyfriend is in a nursing home now. I was unable to continue taking care of him because it got to the point where at any one time he needed two people to move him and his insurance did not pay for a 24 hr aide to help me move or rearrange him on the bed when he needed it. I didn't mean to make this so long but when you talked about the constant anxiety about your blood sugar and you and your boyfriend not being able to wake up when the alarm went off made me realise we were not alone in this. I wish you well in your life and am grateful for you that you have the help of this wonderful animal.

[@donnaknudson7296]

@@asiaroberson3442 I wanted to, not for the money, but because I needed to know what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and who was responsible. I needed for the hospital to be held responsible and not just take no responsibility for it which is what the representative of the "patient safety (or some name like that) office" did. I needed the reason for his death on the death certificate to reflect the truth and not so obviously and blatantly be a lie. To have those things done necessitated that they be sued for it, and suing costs money. So suing also for at least the cost of finding these things out would have had to be done. I had ideas for some actions that we could take to get this started: Contact the same lawyer as the woman in the paper who died the same way my dad had. She was a nun, and all I would have had to do was contact the place where she was a nun which was in the newspaper article. I think even her name was in there too. Also, the neurologist, who was very angry outright told my mom, without my mom even asking, that he would be a witness. We could have started with those two things, but my mom dragged and dragged. I found out from her later that friends from her church kind of diswayed her and that that partly influenced her. She had other fears which she really wasn't open to me about. I don't know everything that went into her lack of doing anything but the two year deadline to sue passed and we lost our chance to find out the truth forever. Not ever having closure has made it very difficult to heal.

[@Catiting33]

I'm almost in my 50s. I've started owning a dog since I was a kid. Every time I lose one, I'd get so depressed. Losing the last dog I had was probably the most depressing. He passed like 5 years ago but it still makes me cry remembering him. I have stopped getting dogs, because the more joys we share the more depressing it is to lose them. Every time I watch videos like this, I never fail to think what will happen to her when her dog passes. I'm always anxious like that.

[@ChronicallyRollingWithIt]

It's especially sad when a Service dog passes. 😭 But as of what will happen to her, we prepare before our dogs pass, so we have another service dog ready to go. Service dogs have to retire at old age as well, just like humans (due to phiscal or medical problems that dogs get in old age, as well as just getting old & tired and no longer able to keep up). So normally before the dog reaches retirment age, we get a prospect to start training to help us, so by the time the service dog is fully retired, we have the help we need still. So we phase one dog out and another dog in. So by the time the dog passes, we'd had been with a diffrent service dog a couple years. But that doesn't mean it's not devastating like losing any animal. But especially because they did save our lives at least 10 years, which does make it harder. But we're fine in terms of medical help bc we plan ahead knowing there will be a day for retirement & sadly passing.

Your last comment made no sense dogs just used you? Remember you took the dog into your life the dog is not using you unless you’re not feeding it properly or taking care of it. That’s like having a baby and saying “It’s using you” the baby can’t make food and eat it by itself you had the baby take responsibility.

@Shini Gami I’m sorry, of course dogs love humans because you take care of them. By feeding them showing love showing appreciation. Beside of course a dog would start snapping at you? Who doesn’t feed their dogs! and again how can a dog use a person when you chose to bring them into your life? Oh and it’s common sense to feed a dog? And played with them or else just give it to a person who can properly take care of a dog. And yeah that’s the difference a human can do things they can talk, they can pick up a cup.

@@honcore5055 As someone with T1D using an insulin pump means you no longer need to self-administer shots, since the pump remains inserted. You use the blood glucose metre as a remote to deliver insulin, but still need to finger poke to check blood sugar levels. Different companies and models exist but ultimately every person I know experiences a huge increase in quality of life using a pump over shots. Highly recommend checking out OmniPod, it's the least bulky and easiest to use. The product was created after a father discovered his young son was diagnosed, enlisted engineers from MIT and Harvard to create a better insulin pump option.

[@Wulf-sq9zw]

My dog never really saved me from anything but when im sick she keeps my company by staying close. She has her own spot where she usually stays at on normal days. I love dogs. Truely mans best friend.

[@BillsMafia315]

His trust for the ground is about the same as my trust for people 😂

[@seviregis7441]

The relationship they have is so special. He’s a great dog, adorable too, very tuned in and smart. As a type 1 diabetic with a service dog, I can affirm how incredibly sensitive my dog’s awareness and responsiveness is. Though I don’t have those kind of blood sugar episodes, if I do start to become low, she knows and immediately notifies me, because being a preoccupied human, you can’t always tell when you’re dipping, sometimes you think you’re just tired.

[@sarahthamer8994]

my cat alerts me when my blood sugar is low he keeps meowing or even touch my face to wake up.. at first I thought it was a coincidence but it happens almost every time i get a hypo specially when I’m sleeping i love him so much 💙

[@pheebsindazone5251]

I too am a type 1 diabetic. Every day sucks because it always starts out with shots but you just have to live with it and find meaning in everything else. Im now in my 40s, married to a wonderful man who loves our family. We have a 12 yr old boy, who thankfully isnt diabetic. I have done my best to steer him away from diabetes. When I was younger I never thought of having a family of my own because of this but this is what God gave me. There will be better days and bad days. Best to enjoy the good ones while you still have them and learn from the bad ones May you find happiness, despite of diabetes.

[@butterflykisses1984]

It was the cute aggressive boops for me!!🥰🥰🥰

[@lilsisasu]

I know! He’s like “Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom! Your sugar’s too low!”

It’s tough bro I appreciate it, I was diagnosed in February

[@blessingsoutlaw]

38-year T1 here. When I was diagnosed in 1983 the allopaths told me “a cure is just around the corner.” After hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of anxiety I can say the medical mafia doesn’t want to actually CURE it, just release new innovative tools and drugs to manage it. Much more profitable that way.

[@raindrops4284]

He saves lives and is afraid of floors. Love him❤️

What a precious dog ❤❤

[@jadeng.8537]

He/She is so cute. I just wanna hug it forever

Eureka! Dog shoes and socks with rubber bottoms for stability and anti-slickness. I got it now! Korey is a Kutie.

If you can’t afford a service dog, look into getting a CGM!

[@krislust5687]

@@hayleymarse2853 what is a CGM?

[@hayleymarse2853]

@@krislust5687 it’s a Continuous Glucose Monitor! It’s basically a small device your wear on your body for 7-14 days that sends your blood sugar readings to your phone or to a receiver! I have a Dexcom g6 which updates me every five minutes and sends me alerts if I am high, low, or my blood sugar is rising or dropping too fast. There is also the Freestyle Libre. I know that other brands exist but those are the two most common in the USA

[@krislust5687]

@@hayleymarse2853 Ok ,yes we have been looking into them lately Does it work good for you? Are there any cons?

[@hayleymarse2853]

@@krislust5687 It works very well for me! The biggest cons for me are the cost (I’m very lucky and my insurance covers a good portion but a lot of people are so lucky) and my allergy to the adhesive. It has a two hour warm up period where you don’t get any readings and then the six hours following that are not the most accurate but for the rest of the 10 day period, it works very well. It has custom alarms and you can change the readings at which you will get alerts. It also has a few apps that go with it. One makes it so that someone on a different device (for me, my mother gets them) can see your blood sugar. Another one allows you to see your average blood sugars over a certain time period. There is also an app that is compatible with it called “Happy Bob” that sends you silly messages when your BG is high or low. Overall, I don’t have many complaints because it has really given me so much freedom!

[@SweetNightmares_]

Animals are amazing I wish every animal was treated the way they deserve to be, loved, worshipped, and protected.

[@bethoneybee]

And I thought my dexcom was cool. I came down with type 1 at 36 years old after a car accident killed my pancreas. I use technology to alert me for my highs and lows

[@TannerEskew]

The car accident didn’t kill your pancreas, the trauma from the car accident triggered an autoimmune response in your body and your body started attacking itself, or your pancreas to be more specific. It’s terrible and it can happen to anybody!! My wife lives with type 1 and it’s hard sometimes.

[@elananova]

This little baby boy is so smart to know that it was a lack of traction between himself and the floor that caused him to fall. So glad they have each other, what a good, smart little doggo!

[@sherryjacobs3907]

My son was 4 when he was diagnosed. I understand your life. He is a happy 16 year old who manages his disease well. Thank goodness he has not needed a service dog. I am glad you and Korey have each other. Stay strong! One of our labs does not like flooring either. He walks from rug to rug....bless his heart.

Dogs are truly a blessing from God! Its humans make dogs bad, not breeds, stupid humans corrupt dogs. This pup is what dogs are at their core, our helpers ❤❤

[@sabush50]

Dogs are the most amazing creatures God created. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Hadraniel94]

I love that she shows his quirk with floors. Service dogs are not robots they have quirks, traits, and oopsies. My service dog’s quirk is he is sometimes shy of things, we will walk by a trash can 10 times and he doesn’t care, but the 11th time he becomes shy of it, take a second with it and he will lay down next to it and not care again. It has happened less and less over time, but it happens randomly with random stuff. Aside from that he is perfect at his job. Service dogs are living breathing creatures with personalities, quirks and sometimes they make mistakes. But they are never aggressive.

[@PibblesAndBits]

Such a good boy!
