I am thinking of ordering either a medical ID bracelet or a an army style dog tag necklace because I am a type 2 diabetic. With all the availability of portable medical info like the medical USB flash drives I wondered what the process is now when you get to the scene of an accident and one has a medical condition. Like if you guys go looking for something like a bracelet first or dog tags, or if you have access to a computer in the ambulance to plug in the USB flash drive if one has it? What is the most likely place paramedics or EMTs check first, or if they check everywhere for ID .. like a med bracelet or dog tags? I am just curious if training has changed with the evolution of technology or not.

My daughter is a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic. We feel it is important that she has on some type of medical alert item. However, we keep running into the same things and nothing that a soon to be teenage daughter wants. We did see one at one time that was a pink camouflage dog tag (not the cover) but now we cannot find it. Any suggestions out there would be wonderful!

Thank you

He is diabetic as well as a heart patient. Do pharmacies sell them? He is not interested in becoming a member with an organization where he is wears a monitor for emergencies, only a necklace or bracelet with info for medical personnel of his conditions. Also, would one tag have both conditions printed on it? What do these medical tags generally have written on them. Thanks.

If they have a health condition?

If they cannot tell someone what their medical needs are?

If they take daily medication?

???

Thoughts?
And what relevant info would you add? Their name, condition, ice number, medications, allergies, etc?

I have a lot I can put on there lol.

I am on PD Dialysis so I know I should put that on there. Would it be better to put my allergies on there. Or a phone # and name for them to call [ which would be my dad who is a Police Officer ] Because I have so much info they would need. I’m actually not on any major meds like blood thinners or blood pressure..etc.. just vitamins and stuff.

So what would you advise putting on there?

Just need some suggestions please.
Also what do you think is more noticeable?

A bracelet or a necklace

If I was in a car accident I would want them to be able to see it.

I need to update my medical alert pendant, I currently have a dog tag type. But American Medical ID wants over for just the basic one! That is ridiculous and I don’t give a darn about them "putting me in their national database" because no medical responder is going to have to call them – they would call my doctor first! Sheesh, what a racket. And then on top of what they charge for the jewelry – they keep sending junk mail for a "donation" every year!!!

They are WAY TOO GREEDY for me to even think of dealing with them again.

So – where can I buy, online is ok, a medical alert ID pendant that is large enough to include a good deal of info? Even if it just pointed out "look at wallet card" that would be ok.

So give me some good sites – and NOT American Medical ID!
