10 Fashionable Medical Alert IDs

I was really against the idea of wearing a Medical ID bracelet after my diagnosis. I only associated them with the boring, masculine, and chunky chain link bracelets advertised at the Walgreens pharmacy counter. My Mom shared with me a few websites that carried fashionable options - I had no idea! There are actually many options out there that don't shove the 'medical look' in your face and allow you to completely personalize your bracelet, necklace, or charm of your choice. Here are my Top 10 Favorite Medical IDs.

My Running Playlist + Tips

I understand that running is not enjoyable for most people. I've been a runner all my life. Apparently, I get it from my Dad. (Thanks Steve)!

Obsessed with Myabetic + Coupon Code

Okay, so I'm completely obsessed with Myabetic. I seriously whip out my bag any chance I get to show people. All my friends (non-diabetics) just think its a super cute wallet. You'd never know it holds all my diabetes supplies!

I stumbled upon Myabetic a few days after I was discharged from the hospital. The founder of Myabetic, Kyrra Richards' story resonated with me on a very personal level. She was also diagnosed with Type 1 in her 20s, and never wanted the disease to define her. She gave me an optimistic mindset during the most difficult month of my life. She considers herself a Diabetes Fashionista. I love that.
