Diabetic Bracelets For Men

Nearly 24 million people in America have diabetes; slightly over 50% of these people are men. That means that out of every hundred men you meet, getting on for a dozen of them should be wearing some sort of diabetes medical alert ID such as a diabetic bracelet for men. In actual fact, five or six at most will be wearing any form of medical alert symbol.
Unfortunately, a high percentage of men with diabetes have the attitude that they would "rather be seen dead" than be caught wearing any form of diabetic alert jewelry. Those men need to be re-educated to understand that being seen dead is an option that wearing a diabetic bracelet for men (or another easily recognised form of medical ID) could prevent.




Some men show a resistance toward the idea of wearing any type of jewelry whatsoever (although a greater number of married men nowadays do wear wedding rings). This anti-jewelry attitude seems to have its roots in the old idea that personal adornment was part of the realm of women and not something appropriate to men.
This hangover of ideas from the past seems strange in a time when cosmetics manufacturers are marketing special cleansers and moisturisers for men because men, on the whole, are taking an increasing interest in their appearance. In fact, there are even special ranges of eye makeup for men.
These strictly jewelry-free males who have the old-fashioned 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 on the grounds it was evidence of personal weakness? Personally, I don't think he would.
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 nasty things could easily be avoided if all diabetic men would wear diabetic bracelets or tags on neck chains.
