I found this image on another diabetes blog. Isn't it a little funny or ironic to put needles in your arm to commemorate the fact that you have to put needles in your arm? :)
I suppose that it would be really useful though if you were ever in a car accident or some situation where people would need to know about your diabetes. I used to wear a bracelet all the time that had the medical symbol on it and said my name and "diabetic" on the back. I stopped wearing it when it broke but I never replaced it because at that time I had entered high school and was meticulously critical of everything I put on my body. I don't wear one even now though. I probably should but I'm not a big jewelry fan. The real reason though I guess is that diabetes already has so much control over my life that I don't want to give it anymore than I have to, even in such a small way as letting it determine what jewelry I wear.
Anyway, if I get a tattoo anytime soon I think that it will be a flower :) not a medical alert symbol.
