For anyone interested in service dogs for diabetes and / or seizures, here is a site for a group which trains them:

I'm sure there are many other such groups. I heard about this one because Dad is diabetic, and we watch dlife most weeks on TV. (For anyone with diabetes, it is on CNBC on Sunday at 7 PM) The program did a segment on the woman and her family who started this organization. As I recall, she has 3 children with type 1 diabetes, and she couldn't keep up with everyone's low blood sugar levels. Somehow a dog they had started alerting her! And she took it from there.
This must be SO helpful to parents whose children could have a serious situation develop during the night while everyone is asleep. The dog is trained to respond and get the adults UP! (among other things)
