Domi is not only adjusting to life in the National Hockey League.

He’s also adapting to living with a diabetic-alert dog who will notify Domi when his blood-sugar level is out of his normal range.

For Domi, a stable zone is from 4.7 to 8. His glucometer measures in the Canadian and international standard, which is expressed in millimoles per liter. In the U.S., levels are read in milligrams per deciliter. Domi’s range in U.S. metrics is 85 to 145.

Watching a scary movie, having an adrenaline spike before an important game and even exercising can fluctuate his blood-sugar level.

If he drinks a Gatorade without giving himself insulin, his level could jump to 15 from 8 in only 15 minutes.

Conversely, two or three hard shifts on the ice could drop him from 8 to 3.

In the short term, low blood sugar is more dangerous and could cause a lack of consciousness. But over time, extremely high levels can have even more adverse effects on organ function.
