Insulin Dep ....bright red and on the front of your drivers license!!!

I happened to pull out my Fla drivers license the other day and noted the Insulin Dep in bright red on the front of my license. I remember a few years back when they started putting it on the licenses and it kinda bothered me back then. I know why they do it….low, in an accident, driving erratically, save my life….all that kinda stuff. But I really am not all that thrilled handing it to some clerk somewhere and having them see it.

I dont try to hide my D, but I don’t go around telling people I don’t know about it either. I wonder how if you had cancer, or a brain tumor, or HIV and had it listed on your license…how would people feel?

I guess it is what it is, but it still kinda irks me…..Oh well,,,control what you can and understand what you cant control….and no worries….

Keep going…...................Wishing you “well” Bob

Thanks for your comments Lisa... would you check for a medical ID bracelet or necklace first?

I generally wear an ID bracelet and I prefer to let EMTs know with that.
