Diabetic Jewelry

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body is unable to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. This can lead to dangerously high or low levels of glucose in the blood. It is caused by the body either not producing enough insulin or not responding properly to the insulin it produces. Symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. Treatment for diabetes typically includes lifestyle modifications such as proper nutrition and physical activity, as well as medications such as insulin. Monitoring of blood glucose levels is also important for managing diabetes. A pre-engraved medical alert bracelet can help to insure that emergency medical personnel are aware of the presence of Diabetes so they can administer the correct treatment as quickly as possible. For children with diabetes who enjoy playing video games, consider purchasing a Minecraft medical id. The colorful Minecraft characters help to insure the child will want to wear their medical id instead of having to be forced to.
