Circumstances for everyone can change and differ. I had a really serious hypo a few years and (tears) back....really serious.....
If I had my duk identity bracelet on then, even in hospital they would have realised.
After this teally bad hypo I sent a crate of wibe to my solicitors, cakes and wine to estate agents and a huge selection of cakes to a retailsr of glassses......
If I had worn something then, no matter what there would have been less stress and worry.
Please think of the worst scenario and multiply it by 100... And keeep yourselves safe...

... You probably tried to explain already, but if they are not interested, it may be worth mentioning to Union or hr and your boss, as work have a legal responsibility to assess and cover health and safety risks. Sorry to hear about you family...I have one but don't wear it as I was told by work colleges and a family member im just attention seeking wearing it

Just to note that not all T2s may need a medic alert bracelet.
If you are not on potentially hypo inducing medication and have good control then it could be quite misleading.
If I am involved in an accident and/or pass out I don't want people assuming that I am either hyper or hypo and trying to treat that as a priority.
I can possibly see an argument for "out and proud" so diabetics can identify each other (hmmmm......Sugr app to meet other diabetics?) but in many cases it is likely to be a distraction from other causes.
Just my personal view.
Anyone likely to experience hyper or hypo symptoms should certainly consider wearing one.
