That is my one. It was really comfortable.... Until I became allergic to it! It seems the metal plate has nickel in it. Other than that no complaints

When I'm doing sports I use a more obvious silicon one with insulin dependent really clear.

Ah no, I'm allergic to nickel too! Must remember to double check with companies if theirs contain nickel or not. It's lovely otherwise! 8)

Shame you can't wear it. One o the more "acceptable" ones I've seen. Some of these bracelets are like dog collars lol ! Where did you get yours Hale ?

how do I upload it keeps saying file is invalid it's only a jpg

 

[hale710]

I honestly can't remember... Somewhere online. I spent ages looking for them! If I find the confirmation email ill let you know

I'm hoping I can reuse the engraved plate somehow. Potentially making myself a new bracelet that goes between it and my skin.

I've had the nickel allergy for years but never on my wrists until now that's why I didn't check when buying it!

got one from ICEID.co.uk.

This one, in blue http://www.iceid.co.uk/new-ice-id-pro-everyday/

6 lines of type with name, NOK name, NOK phone numbers (home and mobile), diagnosis and blood group. I was going to get one anyway for when out running, cycling etc, then I had my diagnosis.

That's a nice one Dave, thanks for the link. I like the helmet ones they have on there too, great idea.

Will have a look on ebay and amazon, though I'm cautious that I'd get good quality. The My identity doctor website appears to be American, do they have a UK supplier?

I have a silicon one from eBay and its good but if your after a metal one I'd have a look on amazon!! just google medic alerts or something along that line and you should be sorted

I was made to wear a chunky chain one as a teen and hated it. So unattractive, even though I was given the choice of which one I wanted. :lol: The ones nowadays look much nicer.

I've gone hypo a few times with no symptoms, just happened to pick up on them with my blood tests during the day. So now I worry what happens if I'm out and about and keel over.

I got mine from Amazon and it looks smart, just search for...

"Colour Insulin Dependant Diabetic Medical Alert Bracelet - Stainless Steel - One size fits all - Totally Adjustable"

Had a few comments from people about it too.
