Medic Alert Emblem

I'm still debating whether or not I need a medical alert Emblem on jewelry because I have type 2 diabetes. The whole purpose of the emblem is to alert medics if I'm not able to. The problem is I don't go many places without my husband, friends or family. Most are already aware I have diabetes. Is it important to label my diagnosis for all to see? Does anyone still use medic alerts?

If I'm home a medic would not find me unless I call myself. If I'm able to call for help and give my address, then I should say I'm diabetic. Hubby is gone 11-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. He knows I'm diabetic.

If you didn't know me and seen me in public, you would never know I have diabetes. It's a terrible diagnosis with no cure but can be controlled with diet and medicine. It's not a diagnosis visable from the outside as some conditions are.

I think if I eventually need insulin shots , I would consider a medical alert emblem on my wrist. Right now I'm finally getting to a normal glucose level as far as testing goes. The Metaforim is finally helping. I tested at 143 this morning and my second test was 108. Quite a difference from ten days ago. I tested 453 on the day of diagnosis. My third test today was 171, so I still have some spikes.

Right now I don't worry about the glucose bottoming out unless I'm sick, just spiking too high. If I had to have insulin I would worry more about going too low.
