Default Did you engrave your child's Medical ID?

If so, with what info?
His name?
Mom's phone number?
Hospital info?

Ours has:

Front- His Name

Back-Insulin dependant Diabetes
Doctor's name
Doctor's phone number

He is with us all the time so I felt it would be more importrant to contact a doctor for info if something were to happen to us. Dh has ICE in his cell phone and I have info in my wallet.

My good one has
Front:
Type 1 Diabetes
Insulin Pump
Asthma
Back:
my name
I also like the rubbery bracelets from diabeticwristbands.com The ambulance service said they would notice it. They are trained to look at everything!
My mom mentioned a few weeks ago that she would kind of like her # on it, but i said i idnt want to pay for a new one. Later that day I ended up with a doc visit, 2 ambulance rides, and a stay in the picu. One of the ambulance nurses looked at my bracelet, read everything (even the back), then said "looks like you might need to be adding allergic to...something to that" It wasnt an allergy, but i may be needing to add the new dx now. I thought it was ironic after the convo my mom and i had earlier in the day.

Yup. We get them engraved at MedicAlert which is where we get ours from. It says Diabetes and then has the MedicAlert phone number and my DD's ID number.

I had silicone wristbands of a 20 colors made with
Diabetes
Insulin Pump
Phone #

Because the Omnipod is tubeless and under DD's clothing I was especially worried pump would go undetected. So far she has had fun finding the color she wants to wear and has worn one everyday. That's a big deal with a 12 year old.

YES.. we got our newest one from
http://www.ekaccess.com/pages/medical.htm

It has been by far the best one.. you get 4 lines on front, 4 lines on back..

We have on the front
type 1
diabetes
insulin pump
novalog

on the back
her name
mom's cell
dad's cell
endo' #

I wanted novalog on it because when we got in our crash this summer and we where in the ER far away from home.. THE ER staff treated a high blood sugar with out even asking Allen or Me on what or how much and gave her regualar insulin instead of novalog.. and double the dose.. SO i hope this prevents that in the future.. Because on top of beign scared to death about the accident i had to call her ENDO office and find out how to fix 2x the amount of insulin given and find out how regualar works in this case vs novalog...

No name for me I have a dog tag and bracelet from www.medicalalert.ca american acess from http://www.medicalert.org
MODY 3 diabetes
Ashthma
Call for allergies
Anemia
soon to be added Rheumitoid arthertis
Medical alert number

Good thing is with medical alert they can call and get your parents contant number and medical info fast. It has the medical alert insignia on it.

My Road id
has my name
MODY 3 Diabetes
My home number,
My mom's name and cell phone

Thats it for that one doesn't have all my med info on it which I don't like but at the time I got tired of feeling like I was wearing a gaint billboard deisplaying everything I have. Big important thing as your kid gets older there going to want it on the underside instead of sticking out
