這隻狗狗在半夜突然跳到床上把女主人叫醒,女主人打開房門後大家都佩服牠怎麼會那麼厲害!
超棒的狗狗!
狗狗除了是人類最忠實的朋友,牠們其實也能隨時成為人類的救命恩人。國外一名媽媽Nuttall因為兒子Luke患上1型糖尿病,必須24小時都擔心著他。Luke無法感覺到自己的血糖是否低到很嚴重,只能依賴媽媽一直替他檢查,一直持續了5年的時間。
▼不過自從媽媽帶了一隻經過特別訓練的黑色拉布拉多犬回家後,她們的生活起了良好的變化!
▼這隻叫做Jedi的黑色拉布拉多幫了Nuttall非常大的忙,也是小主人的守護者。
▼一起來看看牠在家裡扮演著多重要的角色吧!
Night alerts, where Jedi alerts to dropping blood sugars BEFORE they become dangerous in between the alarms we set to check on him. (just to clarify for people who just joined us Jedi catches dropping blood sugars before they go too low or very early on in the drop, we just call them all lows because to Jedi they are - even if it isn't technically a diabetic low - of under 70. We don't rely 100% on Jedi we have the dexcom CGM and still set alarms to check Luke over night because Jedi is a living breathing creature and can and does miss alerts as wonderful as he is he needs sleep too) Jedi jumped off the bed and started to alert (he's a big dog I always can feel him move around and jump off). I grabbed my phone to use for a flashlight and decided to turn the flash on and film what happened next. I missed the beginning of the alert but you can see him pawing the bed and yawning which is his stress signal that that something is wrong. Jedi caught this drifting down blood sugar at 72 which isn't dangerous in itself but it is low for night and Jedi knows when he's drifting lower so we can treat and watch closely - this early alert allows us to prevent as many dangerous lows as possible at night. Don't worry I immediately went to the kitchen to grab Luke a glucose tab - no Luke's or Jedi's were harmed making this video. ??A FEW THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE WATCHING THIS.1. Not all diabetic alert dogs alert at night. Jedi was a wonderful day alerter by the time he was one year-old but it took us until he was 18 months old with LOTS of training and LOTS of work to get him to alert at night. We still work on it and reinforce it to this day. He catches most things at night but he is a living creature that needs rest and if he's too tired he can miss and we never blame him for that. 2. Jedi's night alert includes jumping off the bed and doing whatever it takes to wake me up. He also bows for lows. 3. Luke wears a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor (an absolutely wonderful tool that everybody should have with or without a dog) it will alarm if Luke goes low but it is slightly delayed so if we wait for the alarms he would be lower. 3. At night we want Jedi to alert anything under 75-80 so that we can take immediate action. 4. My phone is within a few feet of me 24 hours a day since I track Luke's blood sugar on my watch that is Bluetooth connected to my phone. My phone, his kit, all his emergency supplies are on my headboard at all times when I sleep. 5. Jedi sleeps with me since I'm the one that he has to tell there's a blood sugar issue. He can smell Luke from my room with no problem. 6. Having a dog alert at night actually means you get less sleep sometimes. You have to acknowledge, reward and confirm every alert even if you're tired and you don't want to. 7. Oh and we love Jedi. ??he is family. (The baby sleeps right next to me so I'm whispering and I sped up the part where I was fumbling with Luke's finger prick he was moving around a lot and as you can see I have a bandage on my thumb due to stitches which makes testing Luke a little bit harder. Hopefully you get the idea of what alerts look like. It took a LOT of work over 3.5 years to get him alerting like this)由 Saving Luke - Luke and Jedi - Fighting Type 1 Diabetes Together 貼上了 2016年3月7日
原來Jedi是一隻能夠發現病人血糖是否過低的超聰明狗狗,而且牠還能比機器早一步發現病人的血糖出現緊急狀況呢!也因為牠的能力,Nuttall從此再也不必提心吊膽過日子,只要Jedi一聲通報,她就會立刻去查看自己兒子的狀況。分享出去,讓大家都知道狗狗的能力有多強吧!
