I found the etching on the metal bracelets not visual enough and it was annoying to take the necklace on and off. My bracelet also says insulin dependent. Hope this helps
I had exactly that - soon after I was diagnosed I was given a gold-plated SOS bracelet - the waterproof seal didn't really work, and as a keen sailor and windsurfer at the time I was disappointed that the paper got damp and mouldy before long. No worries - I replaced the paper regularly. When the gold plating wore off, though, the copper made my arm green - like bruising! - so it was time to say goodbye to it.Those SOS ones, they either break on me or they start turning my skin green!
I never had a problem with the seal, (maybe once but not all the time) just the fact it made my skin green, like my skin is made of acid haha. I also found the little clasp on the bracelet would become loose or break. I haven't actually replaced them, so as far as everyone else is concerned I'm not Diabetic but I do really need to get one in case something does happen and I am by myself. I liked the fact that it also had all the information you need inside it. Was a brilliant bracelet idea but maybe needs some adjusting lol.I had exactly that - soon after I was diagnosed I was given a gold-plated SOS bracelet - the waterproof seal didn't really work, and as a keen sailor and windsurfer at the time I was disappointed that the paper got damp and mouldy before long.

The good thing about the SOS Talisman as far as I was concerned was that - before it went soggy - it contained personal details - name, medication, who to call, etc - which is also what I like about Medic Alert. If I should be alone and unconscious I would want people to be able to find out who I am, who to contact and how, what medication I'm on and who my doctor is, etc.
This is why I like the idea of a QR code on my medallion, it has all of my medical details etc. on it.I liked the fact that it also had all the information you inside it. Was a brilliant bracelet idea but maybe needs some adjusting lol.
OMG! That is a genius idea! I think I need to get one for myself!This is why I like the idea of a QR code on my medallion, it has all of my medical details etc. on it.
The paramedics only need to scan and they have access to my stuff that I entered on in my account on the Quoll website.

That's brilliant!!! Thank you! So, if you went abroad and they don't speak English would it translate the information on the card for them?I have a medallion necklace, and I have just ordered the credit card one like in the pix I posted.
Here's the main website link.

Last two questions in the faq, say it works worldwide, and they post every where in the world.

That I do not know, good point to remember if I ever go to a non English speaking country again.That's brilliant!!! Thank you! So, if you went abroad and they don't speak English would it translate the information on the card for them?
To be honest, because of how thought out it is I would assume it would.That I do not know, good point to remember if I ever go to a non English speaking country again.
It said this in the faqTo be honest, because of how thought out it is I would assume it would.
Can this system be operated from anywhere in the world?
This is truly an international product as both the Caduceus medical symbol and the QR code are recognised across the globe.
The added advantage is that most people with medical training can read or have a colleague who can read English.
We are currently conducting research to identify the need to add an active translator to the site.
Well that's good then! I can't believe I haven't heard of this before!It said this in the faq
So it looks like a translation in one form or another will be available.
I like that idea. MedicAlert holds all my details, and I find this aspect reassuring. Older technology, though (phone number plus a unique ID number to quote). Might think about an upgrade!This is why I like the idea of a QR code on my medallion, it has all of my medical details etc. on it.

If you scan that QR code in the pix I posted below, you will get a made up user id and details.The paramedics only need to scan and they have access to my stuff that I entered on in my account on the Quoll website.
