"After two hypos home alone last winter, my daughter said she'd worry less if I was wearing this. So I started. She worries less, and so do I."

Details & Size
Size: One size fits most women. Fully adjustable, 16–21cm (6.3–8.3 in).
How to find your size: Wrap a measuring tape around your wrist. If it falls within 16–21cm (6.3–8.3 in) this bracelet will fit you.
Alternatively, wrap a strip of paper or string around your wrist where the bracelet will sit, mark where it overlaps, then hold that length against a ruler.
Material: Crafted from solid stainless steel and engraved deep into the metal rather than surface-printed, so the lettering stays crisp and never rubs away. The clean, timeless look of fine silver jewelry, made to be worn every day.

"When I was diagnosed with Type 1 last year I started carrying a card in my purse. Then I left the purse in another bag. This is on my wrist now. I don't have to remember it."

Why a bracelet
What a paramedic sees first
decides what comes next.
For you, or for someone you love living with diabetes, the first ninety seconds at a scene shape every choice that follows. The dose given. The transport speed. The receiving hospital. The wrist is the first thing paramedics check.
A hypo can look like a stroke.
Low blood sugar mimics a stroke, a seizure, even drunkenness. Without knowing you're diabetic, paramedics can miss the simple answer: glucose, fast. The bracelet tells them in two seconds.
Phones lock. Bags get lost.
Medical ID on a phone is a quiet backup, not a primary signal. A locked phone in another room cannot speak. A wrist always can.
Glucose or insulin. The wrong call changes everything.
Two opposite answers, one wrist. Visible information stops the wrong choice from being made. The cheapest insurance you'll ever wear.
Worn by
For yourself, or for someone you love.
Some buy for themselves, after a diagnosis. Some for a mother with Type 2 for ten years. Some for a wife, a sister, a friend on insulin. Same reason every time. The moment when seconds count.
For yourself
After a recent diagnosis, a hypo, or because you've been meaning to. The most considered decision of the day.
For your mother or wife
Most often a daughter after her mother's hypo, or a husband who knows his wife's routine better than she does. Worn from the day it arrives, often bought in a pair.
After a scare
After a hypo, a near-collapse, or a friend's stroke that turned out to be low sugar. The thing you've been putting off, finally not.
Before travel
A holiday, a long flight with insulin in carry-on, a road trip with grandchildren. Quietly worn. Quietly ready.

"My best friend was diagnosed with Type 2 last spring. I bought her one as a welcome-to-the-club gift. She cried, then laughed. Now we both wear them."

"Type 1 for thirty years. The bracelet I used to wear was so obviously medical I stopped putting it on most days. This one stays on every day. That's the difference."

"Mum has Type 2 and the early signs of dementia. We were quietly terrified about hypos at home alone. This was the simplest thing we could do, and the one I should have done sooner."

Questions
Asked, and answered.
Will paramedics actually look at the bracelet?
Yes. Paramedics and emergency staff are trained to check the wrist as a first step when assessing an unconscious or unresponsive patient. A visible medical alert is one of the fastest ways to receive correct treatment in the first ninety seconds.
Does it say Type 1 or Type 2?
Yes. The bracelet shows "Type 1 Diabetes" or "Type 2 Diabetes" on the front, depending on which you select. The reverse carries the universal medical alert symbol so paramedics recognize it instantly.
Why would I buy more than one?
A few reasons people give us: the strap doesn't last forever, people misplace them on travel or at the gym, some want one for daily and one for evenings, others buy a second for a partner, a parent, or a friend with diabetes too.
What if I switch between insulin and oral medication?
The bracelet shows your Type, not the specific medication. Switches between oral, injection, and pump within the same Type are covered. If you change Type, you'll need a fresh bracelet for the new condition.
What size is it?
One size fits most women. It's fully adjustable: 16cm at its smallest, and extends by up to 5cm to a maximum of 21cm (6.3-8.3 inches). If it still doesn't fit, we'll exchange or refund within 30 days.
Can I shower or bathe with it on?
Brief contact with water is fine. Towel it dry after a shower or rain. Avoid prolonged submersion in chlorinated pools or salt water.
What's it made of?
Stainless steel, engraved into the metal rather than surface-printed. Like most stainless steel it contains nickel, bound within the alloy so that very little reaches the skin. Sensitivities vary, so if you have a known metal allergy try a short wear test first and stop if any irritation appears. Gold-tone versions are electroplated and the finish can fade over time, so keep them out of the shower and away from cosmetics and perfume. Water-resistant for everyday splashes; remove for swimming or bathing. 30-day returns if it does not suit. See our product & legal notice for full material details.
How long does delivery take?
Tracked delivery typically arrives in 5–12 business days, anywhere in the world. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
Our 30-day guarantee
Try it on at home. If it's not right for any reason, email us within 30 days of delivery for an exchange or a full refund.
What's your returns policy?
30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not right for you, email hello@medi-carry.com within 30 days of delivery and we'll sort it. Refunds are processed within three working days.
Wear it before
you need to.
Most customers tell us they wish they'd ordered sooner. None say they ordered too soon.
