As I kept forgetting to put my bracelet back on after showering
or doing the washing up .
One fine day it happened - had a serious Hypo without it on .
Middle of a supermarket .
Was slurring my words - lolling my head about and unable to expain
I needed 'help' etc .
Even gave a woman my handbag as diabetic alert card was in my bag .
She gave me my handbag 'back to me' in sheer amazement
I was shaking with the hypo and unable to convey my needs in speech at all .
This made mere-evaluate all issues with this .
Decided to make a permanent fix to solve it all .
Ensure this would never happen again with myself .
Self designed a Diabetic Tattoo .
Had it tattooed on my lower left wrist .
Paramedics are trained to take BP from left arm .
(nearest to our heart)
Now it is a fantastic awareness reference point if ever
I should need it ...
