What are the different types of medical ID?
“Some people think that wearing a medical ID means wearing a big dog tag or large, uncomfortable jewelry, and it just isn’t that way,” says McCarter. There are a lot of different options available.” Here are some of the different types of medical IDs available: • bracelet • watch • necklace • key chain • ID clip for existing watches and/or jewelry • ID card for your purse or wallet “First responders recommend having a bracelet or watch because it is more visible. A necklace is also a good choice,” says McCarter. An ID card or key chain that says you have diabetes can also be used, but they are not as easily noticed or harder to find. McCarter recommends using these types of ID along with a bracelet, watch or necklace for more identification.
