A shoe tag on a child's or adult jogger's lace-up shoe is easily seen. An ankle bracelet under a grown man's sock is not. Necklaces, neck chains with pendants, and wrist bracelets are the first things emergency personnel look for, followed by watch charms and shoe tags. Most experts encourage people to wear at least one medical identification and keep a medical ID card in their wallets. That's because you may be separated from your wallet in an emergency.
Some people prefer wearing such high-quality items.
It doesn't matter whether your medical identification is gold, silver, or plated. What is important is visibility and durability, because medical IDs are meant to be worn all the time. Everyone with diabetes should have a medical identification tag. This is particularly true for people who take insulin. The user's age comes into play when choosing the form of the identification.
