Would a bloodhound make a better service dog than a lab?

First off, I'm a Type 1 Diabetic, a bloodhound owner and we usually go on long hikes in the Jersey Pinelands. I use an insulin pump and set a Temporary Basal Rate when I am excercising/hiking. This gives me a lower Basal dose for these periods. Before this, I ate more longer acting carbs at various times during my periods of activity. My blood drops from 90 to below 80 very quickly and I don't know how useful a service dog would be for me. I check my blood glucose levels regularly. That's just what you have to do when you're diabetic! Yeah it can be slightly inconvenient to check your blood glucose level in the field but that's what I do because I am diabetic! A service dog would be an aid to you but it shouldn't take the place of being responsible about your diabetes. Having the service dog isn't supposed to take the place of checking your blood glucose levels regularly! I keep my blood glucose meter in a pack around my leg or I wear cargo pants and keep them in my pocket. I can check my blood and have a result in under 30 seconds and that's with dealing with my 95 lb bloodhound on a lead! You want a service dog because it's a "pain in the neck" to take 30 seconds to check your blood - but that's exactly what you should be doing because you're a Type 1 diabetic with the additional problem of not being able to tell when you are about to go hypoglycemic. I would learn first to make it so it isn't a "pain in the neck" to check your blood in the field, carry your emergency glucagon pen (it's best to carry a couple of extra in case something happens to one), have a cel phone, tell other people your plans...etc. Do all of this stuff first so that you can go out into the wilds and take care of yourself before you start talking about getting a service dog.
