Diabetes Awareness Necklaces and Check-up Cards
At DRWF we encourage anyone with diabetes, especially those prone to experiencing hypoglycaemia, to wear or carry medical identification in case of an emergency.
Our necklaces, which can be worn discreetly under clothing, are designed to alert anyone providing emergency medical assistance to the condition of the individual. This can help speed up diagnosis and treatment considerably and could even mean the difference between life and death.
We offer our diabetes awareness necklace together with a diabetes check-up card FREE to anyone requesting them. The charity is able to offer these for FREE as part of our outreach support programme. However, as we distribute high volumes of these necklaces each year, you are required to send a stamped self-addressed envelope to the value of £1.55 to cover the postal costs, or make a minimum donation of £2.
To request your necklace please send your stamped addressed envelope to:
FREE Necklace Request
DRWF, Building 1000
Langstone Park
Havant
Hampshire
PO9 1SA
Or, make your donation online and then email your request to enquiries@drwf.org.uk or call 023 9263 7808.
If you are based outside of the UK please contact us for postage costs to your location.
Your donation enables DRWF to ensure that people with diabetes are "staying well until a cure is found..." Thank you.
