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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
