Why Wear A Medical ID?
Wearing a medical ID if you’re a diabetic can be lifesaving! Imagine not being able to help yourself because you’re feeling too weak and cannot talk to someone nearby due to too a high/low blood sugar level… scary right!
…But thanks to all the new designs and customizable options, wearing a medical ID is no longer a hassle, just helpful… and here’s why!
Some tips to consider:
- Find a bracelet or necklace you’d be willing to wear 24/7, because if your medical information is displayed, someone can help to save your life… you never know the day you’ll need it, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
- You’re not walking the red carpet every day, so make sure your medical ID is clear and visible, as first responders may mistake a more disguised ID as a fashion statement, leading to a more serious situation.
- Display imperative information on the face of the ID, such as your name, medical condition and one or more emergency contact numbers so emergency personnel will know how to respond.
- Make sure your medical ID is durable, physically comfortable, and can withstand your daily life and activities. You wouldn’t want to wear something 24/7 if it was uncomfortable in any way.
