My Labradoodle is not trained in this but has woken me a few times now as i have been having a hypo. My cat has also done the same.
Maybe worth looking into training a pet yourself.

I have found that collies/collie crosses tend to have a strong desire to do what makes you happy, and by showing them how to do this they become adept at that task, be it phones/dorbells or "having a turn".
 
I have read about these dogs/pets and they are life savers, get yourself into a program and get a support pet, ttfn
 
My old pup always knew when I was going high, never low though … our current pop doesn't seem to notice anything, but my wife's old pup use to know when a seizure was going to happen up to an hour before (was never wrong in the 12 years of her life). Depending on where you are what legal things you need to follow to have an Diabetic Alert Dog (a pet trained as one doesn't always cut the quificiations to be legal to go with you to work and abroad).
