It is very simple to determine if one has diabetes--a fasting plasma glucose test is all it takes. This can be done in your doctor's office. It is particularly important to have the test done if you have a family history of diabetes or if you are obese.

Living with diabetes requires regular monitoring of blood glucose levels. If your blood sugar reading is consistently above 126 mg/dl, you are considered to be at risk for serious complications such as kidney damage, blindness, stroke, heart disease, and amputations. Lifestyle changes are required to maintain the proper balance of insulin and blood glucose readings.

Regardless of how careful one may be about diabetes control, there are times that accidents happen or stress levels are extremely high. During these times, it is possible to have a diabetic incident such as fainting or injury, particularly in the case of an accident. The best line of treatment can be initiated by the paramedics only if they are aware of the diabetes. Wearing an identification bracelet with medical information is the best way to alert the medical team of one's condition.

At Lauren's Hope, we have designed a medical identification bracelet that individuals such as Halle Berry are proud to wear. Our styles are fashionable and appeal to every age and gender.
