Talk:Diabetes alert dog

Request about Tinker

Please, please, do not change my edits to this page mentioning the death of Tinker. He was our dog and his death has been the most tragic event you could imagine. He was a true hero and a life saver. He at least deserves a place on Wikipedia Weirdgeordie (talk) 01:19, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I was able to find and add a reference for Tinker. Coupdeforce (talk) 11:35, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Research and additional references

I would like to try and get a section on current research going as well as find additional references for information. I know a researcher named Dana Hardin is pretty famous for her work with dogs and diabetes: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13300-015-0135-x#citeas I found another person, a PHD candidate who was doing a study: https://phys.org/news/2015-07-aims-diabetic-dogs.html and there is a news article with some information: https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/new-diabetes-alert-dogs-research

Maybe for history we could add in the first organzations to train DAD's. I think http://www.medicalmutts.com/diabetes might be a candidate but I need to research more. - Meskarune (talk) 01:13, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Information about medical treatment (or monitoring of disease) should be supported by reliable medical references, see WP:MEDRS. The Manual of Style for medicine-related articles (MOS:MED) includes guidelines on writing about history and research in medicine-related articles. DferDaisy (talk) 02:40, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
