This adorable golden labrador is called Magic.

Magic has been trained to gauge the blood sugar levels in people with diabetes by smelling their breath. This is Magic with his owner Claire.

Claire has ‘brittle’ diabetes which means she experiences large swings in blood sugar levels that cause either hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Claire’s body stopped giving her warning signs that she was ‘hypo’…

…yet Magic is able to detect even minute odour changes in Claire’s breath that indicate she may be hypo. Amazingly, he can still do this from another room in the house.

When Claire’s blood sugar levels drop below 4.5 on the scale (hypo), Magic warns her by nudging, licking or even bringing Claire her diabetes testing kit.

Magic has done this more than 1300 times already, saving Claire from potential seizures, serious injury, unconsciousness and even from entering a diabetic coma. And that is why he is Magic…
