Hi there - I've been a type 1 diabetic since August and thought it's about time a got a bracelet.

Does anyone know what's best to put on them? The diabetic centre suggested...

Name, Type 1 Diabetic + any allergies

But shouldn't it also have phone number and DOB on it?

Thanks for any advice. :thumbup:
 
Hi Scrouch,
On mine i have my name DOB type1 and ICE contact but everyone is different. It also depends how much room you have on it, is it an engraved 1 you looking at or an SOS one with paper inside to write on?
 
Hello.
This usually ends up as own personal needs and specifications of importance.

As I have so many medical intolerances mine has my name in full , plus my
husbands mobile , plus all meds MUST be sterate based.
[ I can only tollerate magnesium/calcium sterate based drugs ]
My insulin therapy and states that I am an insulin dependent diabetic.

I chose a rectangular bracelet then I could get more engraved on than the little round ones.
I could have it with either a metal link or a cut crystal beaded bracelet.
Being a lady - chose the cut crystal beaded style in a beautiful cherry red colour
to match up with the star of life medical insignia on the bracelet.
But it really is down to your own preferred choice.

I do think it is sensible to do this - after a while of wearing one you forget that
its there !
You have the peace of mind that 'IF' anything was to ever happen its there to help...
Hope you get the one you are happy to use and wear daily.
Do let us know what you end up choosing .
It can help others - who may be thinking of getting one .

Have a look on Ice-gems,
I got mine there they have different designs, i ended up getting a guitar pic as was so different from the usual ID bracelets and they do them in different colours thought price was a big factor for me as well
Good luck
 
I don't have a bracelet and instead carry a card, on it it says I am insulin dependent type 1, my name and emergency contact number.
