If you wonder, how jewelry and medicine help are connected, here is the information for you.
Medical alert jewelry enables rapid identification of patients with chronicall illnesses to communicate their illness to others.
This type of jewelry can be extremely important for people with diabetes, epilepsy, previous solid organ transplant, rare blood type/antibodies, asthma, allergies etc. Alert jewelry includes Bracelets, Necklaces, Ankle tags, Bracelet charms, Watches, Sports bands, Pendants. In a case of emergency when you become confused or unresponsive, the jewelry allows immediate identification of the problem. The sooner the problem can be identified, the sooner it can be treated right.
The message on the medical alert bracelet should be concise and to the point. The important information can include at least:
An emergency contact number
The name of your physician
Most important info about your medical conditions
Other ID infos depend on the particular illness.
Today medical alert bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry can be purchased online. Although attractive medical alert jewelry designs are available in a wide range, what is more important is the ID identification that must be clear engraved on the jewelry piece. ID medical jewelry is a piece one should always have by oneself. If one'd like to hide those specific informations, there are custom bracelets or pendants that can be both sides personalized. Outside they can be engraved with Caduceus medical symbol and inside with hidden infos.
So if your illness may unable you to communicate in an emergency case or could even kill you, wearing the medical jewelry with the name of the condition is exetremely important.
However if you are just Insulin Dependent, having Diabetes, you should know that the illness is so common today that paramedics carry glucometers in any case. So if there aren't specific infos according to your particular condition, no sense just to customize the piece with the words "Insulin Dependent". It's usefull then only when with special infos are needed to be engraved. The same is with many allergies, like food allergies. But if you're allergic to latex or a medication, it's a good idea to let know about it through the jewelry.
