Type 1 Diabetes Medical ID
Low or high blood sugar can make it hard to explain what is happening. A type 1 diabetes medical ID helps keep key details available when you cannot speak clearly for yourself.
MediTappy links a wearable QR tag to a PIN-protected profile you control, useful when insulin, pump, or CGM details change more often than jewelry can.
Buy NowWhy a diabetic medical alert still matters with devices
Pumps, CGMs, and phones help day to day, but devices can fail, batteries die, or settings may not be obvious to a stranger. A medical ID is another way to surface that you have T1D and what you want people to know.
What to include on a T1D emergency profile
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D)
- Insulin use, as you prefer to phrase it
- Insulin pump and/or CGM notes, if you use them
- Allergies
- Other conditions
- Emergency contacts
- Instructions you want available as information, not MediTappy medical advice
How the profile is accessed
- 1Wear the MediTappy ID Tag.
- 2Someone scans the QR code.
- 3They enter the PIN on the tag.
- 4They view the details you prepared.
Updatable when doses and devices change
Engraved bracelets have limited space and are hard to change. With MediTappy, you edit the profile when your regimen or devices change, no new engraving required.
