HELP ON DIABETES

 

IDENTIFICATION

Your child should wear her identification bracelet or necklace that alerts other peo­ple about her diabetes so that she can be appropriately treated if she loses conscious­ness. There are trendy ones that might appeal to adolescents and teens. For toddlers, shoe tags are available (see Resources). Wearing a diabetes ID is particularly impor­tant when adolescents start driving and spending more time away from home.
