[QUOTE="janeyxxxxx, post: 390233, member: 38060"] hello I just got myself my medical tattoo its everyones personal choice obviously but I did not want to proclaim my diabetes status to the world in general because I want to choose who I tell but also felt I wanted to feel safe should I ever be unable to tell someone in an emergency I was diabetic although have had type 1 for nearly 40 years and never had any problems so far i have had a medic alert shape symbol in 3 colours on my wrist with iddm under in script i think it looks pretty but also would only mean anything to someone medically trained so to the general public the letters mean nothing and I can come up with all sorts of silly things for what it represents if asked by someone who i do not want to tell the truth to IDDM= I dislike dirty men I dont do meat anyhow thats my tattoo story and btw it was not too painful on the wrist :crazy: [/QUOTE]
