I keep it simpleHi everyone, I’m newly diagnosed and getting my head around it all. Just wondering what/how much info Type 1s put on your medical alerts? For the ICE number Diabetes nurse at hospital suggested my GP’s number but they don’t always answer, neither does my partner so am concluding just to put simply ‘Type 1 Diabetic’. Anyone put anything else that could be useful?
Thanks @Hopeful34 , am probs being daft but which number and membership do you mean? I like the idea of giving a number which is manned 24/7 and who can provide all my emergency inf…I've got insulin dependent diabetes, allergies and asthma on mine.
Bear in mind the concept of medical alert bracelets - there isn't a great deal of room on the actual bracelet itself, but there is a phone number and your unique membership number, with the idea that if you're found unresponsive, medical staff will ring the number which is manned 24/7. Whoever answere will have access to all the info you gave them when you filled in your membership application, for example gp, emergency contact, medications, any medical conditions etc, etc.
Fabulous, thank you! Will try themNot at all, and apologies, I didn't say welcome to the forum @Bakeburn.
If you google MedicAlert uk, it's the one with the phone number 01908 951045. There are other similar organisations, but for me this one gave me peace of mind.
