I also have two ICE entries (In Case of Emergency) in my cell phone - the first says ICE Home (to contact DH) and ICE I AM Diabetic and the details say type 2, no insulin, metformin 500 mg plus I have the medical card that came with my dog tag (I don't like things around my wrist so I wear it as a necklace) in my wallet (which is in my purse or pocket depending on circumstances). And, my dr.'s phone number is listed under D (for Dr.) rather than by last name so it's easier for someone to find and recognize.

I have a couple of bracelets, one is 'dressier' than the other (from Lauren's Hope) therefore, I wear it when I want to be a little more formal.
