I'd be more likely to wear a medical alert for the penicillin allergy. But it can't hurt!

Well i can get a talisman that opens and can put in list of things. I might ask my daughter to get me one for xmas. Must admit im very allergic to penicillian. And am not on meds but just diet for type2.
Thanks i wil consider

Re: Medical braclet

Stating you're type 2 would mean they will keep an eye on your BG if your unconscious.... But most paramedics would check BG regardless.

I think it's a great idea for the penicillin. Adding the T2 is a bonus. Sounds like a good Xmas present idea :)
 
an id braclect and medical identy card are a good idea
the braclet can tell them to see medical card for more information you can then list all your information on your medcail card.
i got mine from The ID BAND Companey
 
i wear a utag , it is a small dog tag sized usb memory stick , you can wear it on a chain or as a bracelet , they carry as much info as you can ever need about your self , if it is activated it comes up immediately on the doctors or hospitals computer screen when plugged in , I started wearing one pre diabetes as I worked alone a lot , you can get them from amazon or direct from utag
