Can anyone recommend a source for a medical bracelet or necklace or zipper pull? I’m collecting ideas for what to inscribe. “My type 2 diabetes is diet controlled. Do not feed me sugar or starches.”

Simplify the wording:

TYPE 2 DIABETES
NO SUGARS/NO STARCHES

Hi there. I had to buy a medical ID when I was doing a certain chemo. I used this site which had decent prices and attractive stuff. I loved that thing and it was stylish.

DIET CONTROLLED T2DM
NO SUGAR/NO STARCHES

@PetaMarie, thanks for the link. Which style did you love, the silicon wristband or a metal one? I was worried about the prices until I understood the R stands for South African Rand. It’s possible I ought to order from someone in the States, but I don’t mind ordering internationally. Depending on the shipping!

@islandlight and @PetaMarie, thank you both for wording. 22 characters is not as many as I thought.

I ordered the $23 nylon wrist band, at the bottom.

I will take another look. I am partial to the rose gold bracelets, especially since they are long enough to actually fit around my wrist, but I have not worn a bracelet since I got a smart phone and gave up wearing my watch so I’m not sure how it might go.

And more space to engrave is better than less space. Maybe I can fit some snark on it? or a joke? Still thinking.

I chose my favorites, but then realized I quit wearing a watch because it was irritating.

So my best choice is to carry a card in my wallet.

Thanks for all comments!
