Cute Med Alert bracelets

For the longest time, I didn't wear any sort of med alert jewelry because I couldn't find one I liked at an affordable price. Now I wear a bracelet that I made myself. It's a simple beaded design with easy to read letter beads.

I've recently decided to start making and selling these bracelets to others. Would anyone be interested in something like this?

" I definetely would be interested in them, but one thing... with medic alert, you have a card that you carry in your wallet that gives more information and a number that can be called for detailed information. I dont think all that I have would fit on a cute bracelet. Would be nice though :) "

" I might be interested. I guess really these type of bracelets are designed for paramedics in case of emergency so would not need loads of details. Having something that just said 'type 1 diabetic' would be more helpful than having nothing at all, which is my current situation. I have looked at a few companies but the ones you describe, Goldilox, are very expensive. I have been looking for some alternative to them. I am in the Uk though so I don't know about postage costs.

" Yes, Lizzie, I know they are expensive, but if you dont have all your information, you cant be helped. I have more than diabetes, so I would have to have a pretty big bracelet or a card or something. Sometimes, you just have to pay the price. Someday it just might be worth it. "
