Do I Need To Wear A Medical ID?

Posted by Jenna White on Mon, Jun 28, 2010

Who needs to wear a medical ID bracelet? If you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic condition, have food or drug allergies or take medications then you should wear a medical alert.

Conditions Requiring Medical Identification include:

Diabetes
Heart Conditions
Gastric Bypass/Lap Band Patients
Breast Cancer/Lymphedema
Multiple Sclerosis
Seizure Disorders
Heart Stents/Pacemakers
On Blood Thinners including Coumadin
Allergies to Peanuts/Tree Nuts/Wheat/Dairy
Allergies to Stinging Insects
Penicillin Allergy
Sulfa Allergy
Adrenal Insufficiency
Hypertension
Hypothyroidism
Autism
Epilepsy

Any of these conditions may alter the treatment you might normally receive. Let your medical identification jewelry speak for you when you can’t.

I am a Gastric Bypass post op, and I think this was one of the best investments I have made for my new lifestyle, and I can wear them like jewelry!!

I am a 4 year old little girl that is deaf. I have cochlear implants to help me hear. I love the braclet I wear with the little lamb on it. I would love to have the sherbert bead one so I can change to a different one sometimes. It is pretty cause it has all colors in it

I am a 12 year old boy with congenital heart disease. Although I am cleared for most all sports - I feel more comfortable with my ID bracelet on when my parents are not there. I would love to have a new medical bracelet. I like the ones that are velcro and water proof. My mom keeps sewing my old one back together. I like the one in camo or the new leather one.

Thanks

We have been huge fans of Lauren's Hope since my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes almost 2 years ago. Being a girly-girl a "tween" it was important that she had medical jewlery that she would actually wear. She LOVES all her bracelets and changes them to match her outfits!
