Today have had a medical tattoo, the rod of Asclepius and diabetic 1 in writing below. Looks great on inside of left forearm. Not sure how popular med tats are but would definitely suggest younger type 1s give them a thought. I'm 52 and been type 1 for 26yrs and wish now that someone would have given me the idea of a med tat. If anyone see's this post the info I would give is, 1 be sure you want a tat 2 research different designs 3 find a quality tattooist to discuss ideas 4 be proud to let everyone see your tat and finally hope that no one ever has to see your tat in an emergency.

If I had any idea how to put a picture anywhere then I gladly would, but I honestly have no idea. Sorry.

Not for me, when they release the cure in a couple of years, I would have to get it removed Wink

Why get it removed? Keep it as a reminder of all the fun you had being type 1.
