Diabetic Bracelets For Men
Almost 24 million people in America have diabetes; slightly over half of them are men. That means that out of every hundred men you meet, about twelve of them should be wearing some kind of diabetes medical alert ID such as a diabetic bracelet for men.
Unfortunately, a lot of men with diabetes have the attitude that they would “rather be seen dead” than be caught wearing any form of jewelry, even diabetic alert jewelry. Those men need to be taught that being seen dead is a real option that wearing a diabetic bracelet for men could prevent.
Some men (especially the older ones) are strongly against the idea of wearing any type of jewelry (with the possible exception of a wedding ring). This anti-jewelry attitude seems to have its roots in the old idea that jewelry was part of the realm of women and not right for men.
These strictly jewelry-free males who have the dinosaur attitude to what “makes a man a man”, are overlooking one very important point: diabetic bracelets for men can save lives. If you took one of these super-manly guys out on a boat and told him there was a real possibility the boat would sink, do you think he’d refuse to wear a lifejacket? I’d bet he would have more sense.
Surely it is a matter of commonsense to take advantage of something that can prevent all kinds of serious health problems, and could even save your life. Just three of the unpleasant and dangerous things that might happen to a diabetic man who refuses to wear a medical alert are:
Being admitted to hospital and not receiving vital treatment immediately when he is admitted in a diabetic coma. (Potentially fatal.)
Being shoved in a police cell without receiving any medical treatment because the police think he is under the influence of alcohol. (Potentially fatal.)
Being given the wrong medication by a doctor because of misdiagnosis. (Potentially fatal.)
All those unpleasant occurrences could easily be avoided if all diabetic men would wear diabetic bracelets or tags on neck chains. Would they really rather be “seen dead”?
If you know anyone with diabetes who doesn’t wear an alert, try to get them to wear a diabetic alert bracelet, sports band or dog tags. You can die from diabetic coma. Wearing a simple medical alert can save lives.
