Diabetes

All our products are suitable for those with any Diabetes All our Emergency ID jewellery is engraved FREE of charge with wording that relays your most urgent information, as an IMMEDIATE reference eg "DIABETES" or "T1 DIABETES" or anything else you request (space permitting), then all other information is passed on when medical or emergency personnel call our 24hr Emergency line. Remember - you provide as little or as much information as YOU wish - whatever you provide is what is passed on.

Experience in the Emergency Services and through receiving many Emergency calls through our 24hr emergency line has shown us that it is simply not enough to JUST have basic information engraved - more detailed information is needed and often the most sort after information is who needs to be called in an Emergency or medical incident and all their contact details so they can be called and be with the patient.
