I think I want a little more concrete, objective data than “scientists think it’s the isoprene that dogs are sniffing”. I worked in the medical field long enough that I saw a lot of “we think this is what it is” tossed out the window when the real cause was firmly established by absolute proof. In some cases the…

I’m actually surprised that CGMs aren’t mentioned in this article. They aren’t cheap by any means, but are more convenient and accurate than dogs. I also use a Dexcom CGM. Studies have shown dogs aren’t always reliable (I think it’s like 70% or something) plus dogs are probably quite expensive as well. Of course the…
