It's very common to see medical bracelets with "Insulin-Dependent Diabetes" written on them, but to the average paramedic, those are completely useless. Diabetes is so common today that paramedics carry glucometers as a matter of course. We check blood sugar levels for hypoglycemia on every unconscious patient as part of our routine assessment. If there's a diagnosis that doesn't even need to be on a bracelet, diabetes is it.
