Identification bracelet or card for diabetic children IDENTIFICATION BRACELET OR CARD FOR DIABETIC CHILDREN
Your child should always carry some identification
It is wise for your child to wear some means of identification at all times.
It is perhaps most unlikely that an emergency will arise when no one that knows him is with your child, but as the possibility does exist, you should be prepared.
Accidents can happen on the way to school or visiting friends, or perhaps he may have a hypo while he is away from home. In either event he may not be able to tell anyone he has diabetes, and this could mean he is not given the appropriate treatment promptly.
Most children now wear identification as a bracelet on the wrist or on a chain. You may have your own engraved or use one supplied by organizations such as the S.O.S. Talisman or Medic Alert bracelet.
Teenagers may carry a card
Teenagers may prefer to have a card giving full information.
It is suggested that you have your child's name, address and telephone number, the word 'Diabetes' and the name and telephone number of his own doctor or hospital to be called in an emergency.
If your child carries this information at all times you will have the security of knowing he would be properly cared for in the unlikely event of a severe hypo reaction or accident when away from home.
