While havng discussions with newly diagnosed, mid-rangers
and long-time Diabetics, I heard a boat load of reasons why
some wear medical ID jewelry and some do not. Anything
from too expensive, to causing skin irritation, to not wanting
other People to know that they have Diabetes, to the jewelry
is ugly, etc.

Along with the reasons, I also found that the vast majority
in the discussions do wear some type of medical ID jewelry
or tags, which is Good.

As most know, and for those who do not know here are the
American/Worldwide and Canadian/Worldwide Medic Alert sites.
These organizations keep a record of Members medical conditions/
treatments on their data base for easy access to Medical
Professionals who are in charge of the Members' emergency
care.
