Do you wear one? What information is engraved on yours?

I don't want sound like a hipocrite, but I must admit I don't have one at the moment. I am planning on getting one. I have put it off, but I really feel that it's important that i get one being that i am on insulin and that sometimes makes things a little unpredictable. I am not sure what kind I am going to get, I know I just need to get one.
Just thought I would give my 2 cents.

Hey you pregnant lady! I sure have missed all of the updates on your pregnancy. How many weeks are you and how is everything going so far for you? Have you started a list of names or picked any paricular names out yet? See so many questions for you already. I still have no forgotten about crocheting you a blanket, but I am also hoping to have an embroidery machine to make you an extra special blanket for the baby. I have been trying my hardest to save all I can for one, but things are tight for us right now. I am embarassed to say that I do not have a medical bracelet at all, but do know that I really do need to get one for those days I am alone and away from home. Granted that isn't often at all, but

I also have a red and white id card that I carry with my driver's license that says "I have diabetes" in bold print and holds information about my medications, blood tests, doctor and phone number, etc. It comes from the BD Consumer services...it has their 1.888.BDCARES phone number on the card or www dot bddiabetes dot com I am sure if you email them or call them they will send you a card too. I think the card is cool b/c it has room for 4 separate sets of blood test and doctor visit information- it also contains first aid information on what they should do if we are acting strangely or cannot be awakened. I think we need to be proactive and do our part to take care of ourselves. Michele
Thank you so much for the web address for the medical ID cards, because I have been looking for something to place with my drivers license in case of emergency. Now I will see if I can't get one of those cards to place with my license. You are so right about it being vital that all of us with a medical condition have proper identification so that medical professionals have the information they need to help us. I use to have a bracelet that I wore 24 hours/7 days a week that did come in very handy quit a few times, but the darn corners on it got sharp some how and I no longer can wear it. How ever I will be purchasing one here very soon in fact next Friday I will be ordering myself one, becuase I never want to be with out one if at all possible.
I am so glad to hear that you got one for yourself and have done all you can to help yourself to the best of your abilities if there was to be an emergency. As for the diet and excercise, you will get there soon enough. You just have to remember that your new at all of this and any small step you take towards reaching your goal is excellent. I just know in good time you will be achieving all of your goals, which by then you will not even remember having them as goals from doing it so often. Do take care and know that you are doing fantastic, but also have one heck of a great day!
