Your clinic can provide cards, they just say that your an insulin dependent diabetic..........if you are looking for something more personal a Google Very Happy search will give you some routes to go down........ Very Happy

I've used Medicalert - you pay an annual fee but they maintain your medical information on a database, and you get an ID card with basic info, then medical professionals can call the number on the card to get your full profile. You can also get ID bracelets/necklaces from them (I always forgot to put my bracelet on though...)

I constantly need to get new ID cards from my clinic as I find that they do not last as long as they used to. What I wonder though is - would there be any DAFNE specific cards available now or in the future.
Would be good in order to assist medical and nursing staff realise we are DAFNE trained.
