Hypo Hounds Guest Speaker

Hypo Hounds train dogs to detect and alert to the dangerous changes their Type 1 Diabetic owner’s blood sugars.

By alerting their owners or their families to these changes in blood sugars, Hypo Hounds can help to prevent potentially life-threatening hypoglycaemic attacks.

These are known as hypos and result from low blood sugar levels.

Diabetic alert dogs can also be trained to detect potential episodes of hyperglycaemia (known as hypers) when blood sugar levels are too high.

Hypo Hounds services are focused on children, enabling them to gain independence and freedom.

Today we welcomed Mrs Pearman to speak to our Year 8 students about this wonderful work and how our very own Miss Pearman works with her Hypo-Hound Dori to keep her safe.

Our Red House will be organising their charity fundraiser in July – please support them with their endeavour to support this amazing charity!
