heh...I go off and on. At first I never wanted to wear the ugly a** thing...it was a plain ordinary bracelet that just brought a lot of attention my way, which I didn't want as a newly diagnosed diabetic. My mom, who is hella crafty created a beaded hemp band which was kinda cool so I wore it for a couple of months, but I wore it out. Then at camp I got a bad a** leather one that I wear every now and then. I just feel that when I wear an ID that people are staring at it and automatically judge me. I do carry a card in my wallet with specific instructions on how to care for things, and I am usually around people who know I am diabetic. Also have considered getting a tattoo that lets people know that I am diabetic...just a random thought tho...hehe
If you are comfortable wearing one, then good for you! More power to ya
Oh wow you know you can always try & find one that you do like & wont be afraid of wearing.. I wear a medical id tag and I also have a medic alert symbol thing too that says type 1 diabetic on the back thats on the same chain with more stuff thats on it too. xD You can decorate a medical id tag chain like I did with other necklace parts like I also have a soccer ball and my dads wedding ring and my other half of my best friends necklace on it.... I also wear a blue bracklet that says diabetes on the tag and sometimes I wear the bracklet my friend made me that says diabetic on it.
