Find a Free Diabetes Alert Necklace

Some people with Diabetes may wonder why they need to wear medical ID jewelry. With any type of diabetes, you need to be careful to correctly balance exercise, carbohydrate intake, and in some cases, medicine or insulin, to ensure that your blood sugar stays in a safe range, and does not go too low or too high.

Wearing a medical ID bracelet or necklace will alert others in an emergency that you have diabetes and may require medical treatment—and at the very least, alert paramedics or emergency room staff to check your blood glucose level during treatment.
