I'm a member of the Medic-Alert organization. In the U.S., it costs $25 a year, and they send you a card and a sticker to put on the windshield of your car. I bought a necklace and bracelet. What I really want, though is their Citzen eco-drive watch that has the logo on the face and is engraved with my membership number on the back. At $139, though, it's a little too pricey.

The other advantage with the Medic-Alert system is that you can register all your meds, dosages, frequency, etc., online, so the EMTs can get the info and have it in hand when you get to the ER, so the attending doc will have it in front of him. I don't wear my ID to work, for reasons I've stated before, but while traveling or anywhere else, I do wear it.

I wear a dog tag style necklace. I travel for work frequently and I figure if I get mugged and knocked unconscious, it might be the only way I could be identified.

Plus, the first thing they do in the ER/Hospital is hook you up to a glucose IV. I'd just as soon have something on me so they know to check my levels before they throw me into DKA following an emergency.

I have an ID card saying I'm type 2 next to my D.L.

I ordered a black bolo style alert bracelet from Lauren's Hope. Thought I'd leave it with my car keys...and wear it whenever I'm driving. Can't wait til it arrives!
You guys give good advice!
