[QUOTE="snowleopard, post: 1860441, member: 303754"] I wear a chain bracelet. It's fairly chunky and looks OK. I looked at Medic Alert and discussed it on the forum, particularly about the subscription and the ability for medics to dial in and get information from their database. No one had experience of that feature being used and I concluded it was probably a waste of money. The key thing is that is should be noticed by paramedics and ED staff which things like tattoos might not. Next question: what information should it carry. I chose - Name DOB ICE phone number Medical conditions In addition to T1D I have a penicillin allergy so I feel it's important to wear the information where it's sure to be seen. [/QUOTE]
