I like that wristband!
I’ve just started looking for a bracelet to wear myself but is I know you can get things engraved on the inside of them. What exactly do I need to have on there? Are there any examples or do you just have the Type 1 on the front? Tia! 🙂
You could buy an identity bracelet and have it engraved . With T1 diabetes .

Personally I like medic alert as they keep detailed records on my health , medications and allergies on their records which I can update myself easily. Plus their id tags carry the most important info engraved , I just but the basic stainless steel ones as I don’t want them pinched .
 
Thank you! I got it here.
It can be personalised with any info and there are several different colour stretchy ribbons and fonts to choose from.
I also use the medical ID on my iPhone.
 
I wear a necklace with all my details on and a leather wrist band with a stainless steel chromium plated
medic alert also with my details on, both have the medic alert symbol on them. An insulin passport can
be obtained from your hospital DSN with your details in it but a lot of the supplying companies will supply
you with their version, either way carry it with you.
