[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1673570, member: 338121"] This is a really good thought - even when people know you have diabetes they sometimes forget. A few years ago, I had a hypo of the becoming unconscious sort, but it was a lot worse than it needed to be, because it took the people I was with several hours to remember that I was diabetic and maybe not just asleep! Also, for those in possession of an iPhone, it's worth setting up the 'Medical ID' bit, which can be accessed through the same menu used to make an emergency call. I don't know how likely it is that people would know/think to check it, but it's probably useful if you're on a fair few differnt medications that wouldn't fit on something you could wear. [/QUOTE]
