The adventure begins:)  Gracie has lived just about her entire little life with Type 1 Diabetes after being diagnosed at only 14 months old.  Now after 6 years she is getting a new partner in her daily battle to stay alive... a 4 legged, wet nose, soft, furry service pup.  Her Diabetes Alert Dog (DAD) will help her realize when she is out of range and her blood sugar is too high or too low before she realizes it herself.  This service dog will help prevent the seizures and coma that as a Type 1 she is prone too and will hopefully help to prevent the long term complications of her disease such as heart problems, amputations, blindness, etc.  Follow along on Gracie's journey to getting her DAD and after as they work together to keep her healthy and strong.
