i wear a goldy type bangle with my info on the inside. i got it from laurens hope and its really pretty, just tow little medic snake signs on both ends in red. i wear this one for every day.
when i go cycling or skiing, i wear a plastic one that just says "type one diabetes". i got that on free from a website. its quite ugly and the lettering takes up the whole outside of the bracelet, very noticeable.
I have a tattoo on the inside of my right wrist. I also have a necklace that says "Type 1 Diabetes". I am in the process of ordering a bracelet today. Better safe than sorry.
It has the medic alert symbol at the top under the 12 and above the 6 it has the words "See other side" in red. You can have it engraved on the other side with 3 lines of information / up to 15 letters (I think).
Mine has
Diabetes
RA
Multiple medications
Here's the site I where I got mine:

I have my tattooed
They still have the medical alert symbol prominently displayed on the tag, but the bracelet part it connects to is more than just a simple chain. I turn the tag to the inside of my wrist, so the cute part is all anyone sees. If I'm ever unconscious and someone looks for medical ID, they will immediately see it is a medical bracelet and all my necessary info is engraved on the other side of the tag.
this is what i wear with a timex indiglo watch on reverse

I wear a bracelet from Lauren's Hope 24/7/365. I used to wear a thin gold necklace with a custom charm, but decided that the bracelet is more visible. Interestingly, when I used to work retail, I constantly got compliments about my bracelet, but only once did someone notice it was a medical alert. I hope that the paramedics won't miss the tag...
I've only used the medic alert tag once. I was too low to talk, but I was able to show my medic alert to someone who was helping me.
I always wear one, for 31 years, and always a MedicAlert. I figure an ID bracelet isn't much help unless they can see other information about me and my dosages, etc. I like my current one, it's the stretchy wristband style (but doesn't pinch the little hairs!) and it's really comfy, because "bangle" style bracelets bug me. Thanks for your alert!
ALWAYS. I wear the chain around the neck, as it is more private. If my top is low cut. I attach it to a bra strap. Never leave home without it!
I wear a Road ID all the time. It's pink and matches my bike. It has all my pertinent information and also includes "Insulin Pump and CGM Do Not Discard". I read a post somewhere of a Dexcom sensor and transmitter inadvertently being thrown away by hospital ER staff and figured better safe than sorry. www.roadid.com
That's awful. I've learned over the years (dealing with my Mom's and my health issues) that just because medical personnel work in the field of medicine, they don't necessarily know as much as the layperson sometimes about medicine or medical equipment.
I had Dog Tags and recently went with a RoadID. I never take it off. I have multiple bands but stick with the red one. Name, Type 1 Diabetic, 3 Contacts, Insulin Pump & CGMS. Plus I added the Medical badge. People really dig it.
I wear a medical ID bracelet all the time. I also have a "I have diabetes. I am not intoxicated. If I am unconscious or acting strange, do this... (with instructions for calling 911 and administering hypoglycemia treatment)" card in the outside visible pocket of my wristlet and a more detailed medical ID list as the lock screen on my phone.
Yes, it is excessive, but I am concerned about going into severe hypoglycemia and people believing that I am intoxicated. I am a college student, and both underage and binge drinking are very common. I don't want to be found unconscious, have someone believe I am drunk, call the police to report me, and waste valuable treatment time before medical personnel arrive. By the time someone comes who knows how to treat hypoglycemia, it could be too late.
What seller did you order from? I would love to know 
Never did. Never felt the need. And now - when I'm actually getting my BG under control and risking hypos - I know that I have the pump. And anybody who I would want to take action - is only the guys that would recognize it.
I do how ever - cry in my wallet, glucmeter, Agenda and purse - a list of all my meds and all my illness.
( after the e.r. visit where my mother declared that besides T1 diabetes I have nothing ells.... :-O - i.e. - Fibromaylgia, Cfs, carpal tunnel, back problems, bad ibs, small loss of hearing and Tinnitus and of courst - diabetic neropathy
Mine have my conditions, all my meds (including stuff like nurphen), My pump basal and ratios (this I have such a high insulin residence and always have to aruge with the doctors until they realize that i know what i'm talking about... ), and my mom and brother's names and phone number.
I think that medical professional know to look for it. and when someone is unconsciousness - it doe's stick out.
I never wore a medical alert bracelet until I had a severe allergic reaction in college. Since then I always wear one--the simple, ugly, chain-link MedicAlert one (but the symbol is purple). I use MedicAlert not because of the calling feature but because it's more-or-less big enough to carry the more extreme issues I have. I actually need to have it changed, since literally half of the things on it are no longer accurate. I keep pushing it off because I keep hoping we'll decide which type I am or find another explanation for my rheumatologic issues.
Hi there! I ordered from Galway Designs. I am quite happy with the the product. The disc is not huge though so only works if you are not putting too much info on it.
Awesome! Can you link to the specific bracelet so I can see what it looks like?
