Carrying your diabetes treatment information on your neck can save your life. When your blood sugar drops (hypoglycemia), you may get confused or you may even lose consciousness.
Because diabetes can cause these types of emergencies, the American Diabetes Association recommends that all diabetics wear medical alert tags. Because diabetic emergencies have symptoms that can be confused with other conditions, a medical ID bracelet or necklace can alert first responders to the potential cause of your symptoms. With a medical ID, you'll also be able to receive faster, potentially life saving treatment, for your diabetes.
Medical ID Tags set includes:
- 2 x Personalized Medical ID Tags in your choice of metal & color
- 2 x Ballchains, keyrings, or alternative fasteners
- 2 x Optional Rubber Silencers in assorted colors and camo patterns
- 2 x Optional Red Star of Life Dogtag Decals (for back side of tag)

More About Medical ID Tags
First responders, medics, and doctors are trained to look for a Medical Information ID 'Med-ID' tag to alert them of your chronic health conditions in the event that you are unconscious.
A brief and easy to read description summarizing a few of your key medical facts on a Universal Medical ID can be invaluable to ensure that you receive proper treatment.
We offer a variety of medical identification style dogtags that are fully customizable and designed to last a lifetime. Depending on your preferences and requirements choose from:
- Stainless Steel Matte Finish with Laser burnished 'Star of Life' (aka Rod of Asklepius) βοΈ background. Embossed text is overlayed through image which allows for more information to be embossed.
- Red anodized lightweight aluminum with Laser engraved 'Star of Life' (aka Rod of Asklepius) βοΈ background. Embossed text is overlayed through image and is harder to read than steel tags.
- Blank Red anodized lightweight aluminum.
- βοΈ Embossed Rod of Asclepius aka 'Star of Life' symbol (one snake winding around a rod) on solid brass tag.
- G.I. Medical Tag. Mil-Spec red anodized aluminum, rectangular shape. Worn alongside regular dogtags to provide essential medical alert information. Also known as a 'Boot Tag' worn in the laces of USMC boots.
π Some EMT/Paramedics are trained to only look for or follow the instructions on tags that are red, so we offer both red tags and optional dogtag shaped red Star of Life stickers that can be stuck to the back of any tags.
