Blood Sugar Levels Immediately After A Meal

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- Mollie and James Moore have been trying to get their 10-year-old daughter Maggie a diabetic alert dog for years.

"We started researching service dogs probably three or four years ago just learning about them. It was just kind of one of those, we wish one day we could do that, but they are so expensive. It’s just beyond our means,” James Moore said.

Maggie has juvenile diabetes and needs 24-7 attention to keep it under control. Her parents knew that a service dog would be a tremendous help, but financially, it seemed like a long shot.

Through research, the Moore family learned about , a nonprofit organization based out of Orange, Va.

The organization trains dogs to recognize fluctuations in the blood sugar levels of type 1 and type 2 diabetics.
