Diabetics: Medical Alert Jewelry: A Life Saving Fashion Statement

No one really wants to be labeled as “different.” And certainly, no
one wants to create that label and apply it to him or herself. But
many medical conditions require some form of identification
indicating that such a condition exists and must be considered in
the case of an emergency. Thus, millions of people with hundreds of
medical conditions must advertise that fact simply to protect
themselves. For many, jewelry is the chosen medium.

Fact: Up to 15% of the population of the United States could
experience a life-threatening reaction to foods, drugs, insect bites
or latex.

Fact: Many diabetics suffering from hypoglycemia (low blood glucose)
have been mistakenly identified as being drunk.
