When an emergency strikes, every minute counts, especially for diabetics. Paramedics, nurses and other medical professionals are trained to check for medical alert jewelry when attempting to treat patients who may be unconscious, or simply unresponsive. Wearing diabetes dog tags can save time, and possibly your life.
There are two types of diabetes. With Type 1, the body simply is not producing enough insulin. With Type 2, the problem may be that insulin production is low, or it may be that cells are actually ignoring the insulin. To deliver the proper treatment quickly, medical personnel must know which type of diabetes they are dealing with. This can consume precious time. Also, contact information must be found for the family.

Do you like to stay ahead of the curve? Are you a techie?
If either of those statements describe you, than I’m excited to introduce you to the first engravable USB medical ID; the USB Dog Tag.
This ID provides you with all the features of the Dog Tag, but offers a unique USB device to store detailed information that could never fit on an ID. With the use of a pre-loaded template it is easy to make sure you have everything you need to share organized and ready to view.
When choosing a medical ID you’ll find many available options, and choosing the best option can be difficult. To help you with this important decision I’ll be comparing several of the bigger players in the ID field so you can decide which features are the most important to you.
For this first installment I’ll be taking a look at MedicAlert and their member service.
Service: While American Medical ID focuses on custom engraving in order to relay information, MedicAlert also offers a help line to call if you need assistance and family alert system. Both American Medical ID and MedicAlert provide a medical record service managed by you.
