When Aiden, who has type-1 diabetes, was 8 years old, he heard about service dogs who can monitor glucose levels.\u00a0 Incredibly, these dogs can sense low glucose levels 30 minutes before a blood meter can pick this up.\u00a0 These dogs cost $15,000, but Aiden wasn\u2019t deterred and started saving one penny at a time<\/em>.\u00a0 After four years he had put away $6000 in coins.\u00a0 Then a local news station picked up on his goal and unwavering determination.\u00a0 The story went nationwide and donations poured in to make up the remaining $9000.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A chocolate Labrador named Angel has been trained for the past year and recently passed all her tests, while Aiden followed Angel\u2019s progress with videos and pictures.\u00a0 Angel flew in on SouthWest, and \u201cAiden is over the moon,\u201d said his mother.\u00a0 \u201cHe was on pins and needles waiting for her.\u201d\u00a0 She said that Angel will give her peace of mind, particularly at night, when it comes to testing Aiden\u2019s sugar levels.\u00a0 Angel\u2019s presence also gives Aiden a new sense of independence.<\/p>\n
