German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Labrador Retriever are all good choices for this because they are easy to train and remain loyal and calm.

really the dog almost has to show the ability to detect these changes.

I have a freind with a Chinese Crested who can detect changes in her sugar.. he also detects other problems, such as heart problems, changes in her blood pressure, etc.

it may depend the breed but every dog is different! i have a german shepard and she awesome I love her! I am disabled so having her around helps me out, and shepards are super loyal and smart! if you go to a breeder and explains your situation they may give you a discount or maybe even free!

any dog can have this its called the 6th sense, but unfortunately only a few actually have this great gift. maybe you’ll be rewarded by adopting one

A Labrador mix, or a Golden retriever mix. They are easy to train because they respond well with treats, and have a great sense of smell.

I actually think a beagle would be the best dog for that. They got the nose, no doubt about that. And most of them are very food motivated so training can be pretty easy. Beagles are smaller dogs, they’re lovable dogs, they’re wash-n-wear easy to groom …

I’d go with a beagle.

Just go to the shelter/rescue and see which one bonds with you the best.
There really is no one breed that would be “best” for this. A dog that is well connected with the person whom it is supposed to help would be the best dog for you.

Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherds are all highly intelligent but I would go with a German Shepherd because if trained correctly are the most loyal dogs.
