Questions/Answers
What should you put on amedical alert bracelet?
My daughter has diabetes and is wanting to purchase a medical alert bracelet but isn't sure what all she should put on it. A lot of web sites tell you to put a lot of different information to put on it, however you can't with only 3 or so lines available.
Note that she is diabetic, any other serious medical conditions (e.g. epilepsy) if she has them, then any medication allergies. If this leaves room, put your phone # for contact.
Where can I get a cheap andreliable Medical Alert card orbracelet?
It's been recommended to me my various doctors and individuals that I get a Medical Alert card of some sort. I want one that lists both medical conditions and allergies, since I have my fair share of both. I'd also prefer one that lets me list what I have instead of picking from a list of conditions. Thanks!
www.medicalert.org This one is really the best. You get a bracelet or necklace, an ID card and a sticker to place in the windshield of your car. They maintain a computer database of all your medical information, from health insurance to a living will. Medical personnel can call Medic Alert to obtain pertinent information should you be incapacitated. Medic Alert also supplies more in-depth information regarding a health condition than other companies do. I'm a long-time member of Medic Alert. I have never had a problem. Updates are easy to make and the yearly fees are minimal. A basic emblem is included with yearly fees but they have a vast array of bracelets and necklaces that are quite fancy. They even have sport watches. EMT type 1 diabetic
Does anyone know anythingabout medical alert systems?
My mother is elderly and insists on still being alone, I have convinced her to get a medical alert system in her home. I have looked on the internet to research them, but can't seem to see the difference in the different ones.
They are similar. The companies may be out of state, but I don't think that is a problem. They set up the system in the house so that the speaker can pick you up where ever you are in the house. They have a rope/necklace version and a wrist version. You need to keep it on you all the time. I used to work for a hospice and it was a great way to alert someone there was a problem. They called they people on your list and if needed, 911. It is worth paying for something like this when you have a frail person living alone. I highly recommend it.
