artwoman, I want to get a tat on my wrist really bad but, I'm a little bit afraid of how long it will take to heal. BTW...I love the idea of the red circle/slash!!!!!
The one other tat I have I got long after being Dx'd with D. I've been in good control for a real long time and had no problems healing. Just be sure they use proper sterilization techniques and do not reuse ink pots.
Good advice, thanks!
My Medical bracket says Type 1 diabetes on one line and then insulin dependent on the next. It also has my name on the top line and my husband’s cell phone number on the bottom line.
I got one that looks like a watch band, but has an ID like place that you can have engraved with pertinent info, I have "DIABETIC MSG inside" on the face, and then there are instructions on the inside to see list of meds, pertinent nos. etc in my wallet, which is written on a stamped sticker on the inside, Showed it to an EMT friend, and he said, often, unless the EMT's are pressed to save your life, the cute ones with beads, etc get ignored as just usual bracelets. They would see bracelet with emblem, necklace or tatoo that they would notice more,
In the year and a bit since DX ive managed to break or lose 3 different id necklaces / bracelets. So in the end i went and got another tattoo instead!
