A medical detection dog alerted her diabetic owner to soaring blood sugars right in the middle of a Belfast gig attended by thousands.
Wendy, 55, from East Belfast, carried out a pin prick blood test on her finger and discovered her blood sugar levels were very high. “I used to be aware of when I was going into a high or low but for some reason my hyper awareness started to leave me so now I don’t get any signs or symptoms. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I collapsed and he had to take me to A&E but I haven’t had problem since I’ve had Ecco.
“This time at Belsonic listening to the Human League and Echo got up on her feet and became really agitated and she wouldn’t lie back down. At the time I was talking to two ladies who asked me what was wrong with my dog. I explained that she was probably alerting me to my blood sugar levels and I checked my blood sugar and they were really high.
