<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have worn a medic-alert bracelet for years--I am also diabetic. I have a few suggestions: 1) there is a difference between the bracelet you pick up at the drugstore and a medic-alert. Medic-alert has a well-establish reputation and drs and er personnel can quickly get in touch with them 2. I know this is over-kill, but I feel better stating on the bracelet,& on a card I carry in my wallet that "Celiac--allergic to gluten in grains--allergic to wheat, oats, barley " etc, I also state that I am diabetic, noting my meds, and that I am allergic to penicillin. On my license I state "diabetic, celiac, allergic to antibiotics" If someone makes a mistake, at least I haven't done all that I could to prevent it. Ann
