Message: <blockquote data-quote="FionaR" data-source="post: 146812" data-attributes="member: 28177">I bought my daughter a "proper" medic alert bracelet when she was diagnosed, £36 complete waste of money. (one of those ones with the stretchy bracelet and the folded paper inside) constantly pinched her and the links needed replaced 3 times within a year - then she "lost it"I recently bought her a dog tag from ebay, best £3 I have ever spent  :lol: . Nice purple coloured one, with the emergency snake/staff thingy ma bob and Type 1 diabetic on the front of it, her name, d.o.b, house number and postcode and emergency contact number all on the back and it is perfectly readable. I also bought her a variety of silencers for it to spice it up a bit (including glow in the dark one) also stops the tag annoying her if it is against her skin.Probably the same as what you have gefmayhem except only 1 dog tag not two.As for the chain I just went to HPJ jewellers and bought a cheap silver chain for a spare.Keep saying I am going to get myself one as I am more prone to hypo's than my daughter, one of those things I never quite get around to  :roll: If your child doesn't like wearing jewellery, you can also get zip pulls, mobile phone charms, badges and pins etc with the medical symbol on. I have a  zip pull and phone charm for my daughters school bag and for her bag she carries everywhere with insulin and blood test kit in.They have "type 1 diabetic" , name and emergency contact number on aswell. Very handy and very cheap  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Fiona x</blockquote>
