Our Diabetes designs show DIABETES with the type, so you choose the Type 1 or Type 2 version to match your diabetes. Each comes as a standard bracelet, a slim bracelet, a women's bracelet, a keychain and a necklace. Read Type 1 vs Type 2 if you are unsure which applies.
Band materials
The Diabetes design comes with a choice of band: a soft silicone strap, a braided leather band, or a stainless steel band. They all carry the same steel plate showing DIABETES. Pick the one that feels most comfortable for everyday wear, and see our silicone vs leather vs steel comparison to choose.
