    I'd talk it over with your doctor. If yes, I'd bet that there are some good looking bracelets to choose from as well. Do what's best for you.

    A very smart plan is to keep a copy of your medical conditions and all medicines/allergies you have on a piece of paper in your wallet/purse. If anything would happen it would be found easily by medical staff and it gives us a really good picture of whats going on with you, much more so than a bracelet.
