I have since had a kidney/pancreas transplant and lost my vision due to the diabetes. Michelle is in much better shape, but has severe low blood sugars. I need a new bracelet indicating the transplant and she needs one in case of a hypoglycemic reaction in public and also to indicate her use of the pump. A gift card to Lauren's Hope would go a long way in securing bracelets for us both, and with their beautiful designs, would symbolize our 27-year friendship too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337198075604584541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-13971184071081014882015-08-09T21:08:36.986-04:002015-08-09T21:08:36.986-04:00I'm a big fan of Lauren's Hope, and really...I'm a big fan of Lauren's Hope, and really need a bracelet I can wear in water. I'm not, however, diabetic. I suffer from HYPOglycemia, and routinely have blood sugar dips into the 40s, and sometimes as low as into the 20s. I'm almost religious about wearing my medical alert jewelry because of that, but I'm worried about ruining some of my beautiful pieces because I do warm water exercise (for mobility exercises) and will be moving back to the coast soon, and my favorite past-time is tide pooling!

As a T1, in a recent Endo visit, the doc asked if I had been wearing a med bracelet which I had not been doing. :( I have a sporty thick band which doesn't look nice when I am dressed up for work. So, a practical, functional and visually appealing accessory doubling as a medical support would be amazing!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744181617183957696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-14012452684682953932015-08-08T10:07:26.388-04:002015-08-08T10:07:26.388-04:00T bough my LH bracelet a couple of years ago and a...T bough my LH bracelet a couple of years ago and am quite happy with it. I think it's important to note that they have attractive and sleek-looking MENS styles as well (the name may imply that all they carry is girly stuff - they do not). I wear the Stealth bracelet (it's like a metal watch band) and it stays on my wrist for months or perhaps years at a time, with no reason to remove it other than to look at it for curiosity's sake.<br /><br />Though I find the prize extremely valuable, if I win I would gladly turn it over to one of the other commenters who don't have one. They need a first one more than I need a second one.Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-88422115837580332192015-08-07T23:19:15.316-04:002015-08-07T23:19:15.316-04:00Bracelets are excellent and I will look at Lauren&...Bracelets are excellent and I will look at Lauren's Hope website.

If her top dresser drawer ever has a severe diabetic low blood sugar episode, it would be well identified... <br />Both of these are stylish and yet relatively low profile, so they don't scream "I have a medical condition!". That's really the point, isn't it? <br />Thanks for bringing this to my attention!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577358644552119886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-23341941770302135352015-08-07T00:30:22.245-04:002015-08-07T00:30:22.245-04:00Hi my name is Victoria I have had type one diabete...Hi my name is Victoria I have had type one diabetes a little over a year now.

I had a hypo seizure at the grocery on Sunday and haven't been wearing my bracelet (weird allergic reaction). I don't know what would have happened were my husband not there! <br /><br />I've admired the jewelry from Lauren's Hope for a while, and I recognize that I should be wearing something. The certificate would be just the kick in the pants I need to get something ordered and to be wearing it!
