[QUOTE="AMBrennan, post: 359864, member: 37697"] The official symbol for diabetes is the blue circle [img]http://www.diabetesbluecircle.org/img/diabetesbluecircle.png[/img], which is also in the top image results for "diabetes symbol" but I've never seen it in real life. The reason for the association is pretty clear - medical alert jewellery features the recognisable symbol of medicine because it has to be recognisable above all else. Since the Caduceus is frequently used in that capacity in the US, you'll also get a number of people using that symbol in medical jewellery and tattoos. [/QUOTE]
