Emergency armband: Diabetes and diabetic armband, emergency ID and alert
A diabetes armband or a pendant tells others what you may not be able to say yourself. We offer emergency information in several forms: as an emergency armband, as a pendant for a necklace or keyring, as a card for your wallet, and as a tag for your shoe or sports bag.
A diabetes armband from a pharmacy is usually designed purely for medical purposes. The pieces here carry the same information while looking like jewelry.
Armbands
From simple to eye-catching, in silicone, textile, and metal. An armband for people with diabetes displays the information visibly on your wrist, for both type 1 and type 2: as a type 1 diabetes armband as well as a type 2 diabetes armband. Others call them emergency armbands, SOS emergency armbands, or SOS armbands; they all mean the same thing. The information included and whether the text can be changed are listed with each product.
Pendants, Cards, and Tags
Pendants can be worn on a necklace, keyring, or backpack; cards fit in your wallet next to your ID; and tags attach to your shoe or bag. Necklaces and chains are also listed under emergency jewelry.
For kids
Smaller sizes and child-friendly designs can be found under Diabeteskids.
Jewelry instead of a medical ID
If you prefer to wear something that doesn’t look medical, you’ll find more subtle options under diabetes jewelry.
What else belongs in your bag
An emergency ID usually goes with both: a bag to keep everything together and dextrose close at hand.
Visibility in an emergency
A clear, visible emergency ID ensures that your diabetes is recognized immediately in an emergency. If you are unconscious, this can allow you to be tested immediately for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). The IDs are designed to immediately catch the attention of first responders and medical staff and convey information that saves time in an emergency.
Your benefits at a glance
Visibility: immediately informs first responders about your diabetes and enables immediate testing for low or high blood sugar. Thoughtful craftsmanship: all our own products are carefully crafted by hand and preferably made locally. And a reassuring feeling for you and your loved ones, so you can confidently manage everyday life with diabetes and kids can go through life proudly too.
Frequently asked questions
What materials is the jewelry made from? Depending on the model: silicone, stainless steel, 925 silver, textile, or leather. The material is listed with each product.
Are there diabetes armbands in pharmacies? Many people look there first. You can find the selection by design, material, and size here, ordered and delivered to your home.
Can the text be customized? For some models, yes. Whether the text can be changed is listed with each product.
Is there an ID for a watch too? Yes, as a pendant for a watchband, for both type 1 and type 2. If you’re looking for an armband for emergencies or specifically an armband for people with diabetes, you’ll find suitable options above in the list.
Is this a home emergency call system or emergency button? No. It should not be confused with a home emergency call system: emergency IDs are informational accessories without electronics and without an alarm function.
Are diabetes armbands free? No. We are an accessories shop, not a provider of insurance-covered services: you purchase bags, armbands, and designs privately; the prices are listed on each item.
Looking for an ID that combines design and function? Made with great attention to detail and in quality that keeps up with you every day: the emergency IDs convey vital information that saves valuable time in an emergency and helps ensure that you receive fast and appropriate assistance.
