I have gotten a C.A.R.E. medibracelet. It uses a USB port connection that gives all my medical information including doctors' names, phone numbers, prescriptions and medical history.

There are many reasons to wear a medical bracelet. I wear one because of my condition as well as being on Coumadin. It is important if you are in an accident or become impared. I also wear mine for others to be safe. For privacy reasons, I wear one that says "see wallet card." No one has ever asked what's in my wallet. If they were, I'd have to say a whole lotta nothin'. I'm so broke!

Suzieloooooo: I'm also type 2. Granted I have other medical problems; but I think you should get a bracelet or a medalion just to be on the safe side. You never know when it will be necessary. So please get one.
