Meet Dylan

Dylan Lancaster has Type 1 Diabetes, but it does not have him.
 
Dylan was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) when he was five (5) and discovered Diabetic Alert Dogs (DADs) when he was nine (9). Soon after realizing that he could have a dog, he thought that he shouldn’t be the only child with this opportunity. Dylan’s stand is that money should not be an obstacle to getting potentially life-saving help.
 
So, Dylan and his parents started a non-profit…Dylan’s Dogs for Diabetes (DCubed). 
Since then, he has been devoted to the thought that if someone’s life could be improved by having a Diabetic Alert Dog, DCubed is here to offer support. DCubed has helped to place 17 DADS across the U.S. with clients from age two (2) to fifty-two (52).
Dylan’s first DAD, Jack, developed an aggressive form of cancer and had to be put to sleep. Dylan now has Captain Theodore Lancaster, more affectionately known as Theo. He and Theo graduated cum laude from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in May 2025. Theo deserves as much credit for the degree as Dylan because Theo helps Dylan keep his blood sugars in check.
 
DCubed continues to raise funds to support people with T1D by providing general support, help with diabetic supplies, and the purchase and training of DADs.
