Quick answer

It comes ready to wear as shown; we do not offer custom engraving. You choose the Type 1 or Type 2 design. Ask your doctor if you have questions about your medication.
If you take metformin, our Diabetes bracelet shows DIABETES where an emergency team can see it, with the universal medical alert symbol on the reverse. It is a ready made design that comes as shown, so there is nothing to personalise. Metformin is commonly taken for diabetes, and the condition itself is the fact most relevant to an emergency team.

Why the condition, not the medication
Metformin is commonly taken for Type 2 diabetes, so the design shows the condition, which is the fact an emergency team is most likely to act on. A visible medical ID puts that where responders look. Emergency staff are trained to check the wrist as one of the first steps when assessing someone who is unresponsive.
The wrist is the first thing paramedics check.
The design that suits metformin
We do not make a metformin specific bracelet. Our Diabetes design shows the word DIABETES, and you choose the Type 1 or Type 2 version to match your diabetes. The words are set into the metal rather than surface printed, so they stay legible with everyday use. Browse the diabetes collection, or read Type 1 vs Type 2.
What a bracelet does
A medical ID is identification only. It does not monitor your blood sugar or treat anything. It carries the information for the moments you cannot speak for yourself.
