About us

StickyJ Medical ID and sister company Thoughtful Impressions have been family owned and operated for more than 21 years. The company is led by CEO Lori Torman, who has an eye for great quality and classic styles. In the early days of medical id bracelets (we're talking 1960's), medical alert bracelets were pretty boring -- basically engraved metal tags with curb link chains. The same styles were offered for children, just smaller (no wonder kids didn't want to wear them). And, by the end of the 20th century things hadn't improved that much. Lori was among the first to recognize that medical id's could be fashion conscious, and in 2005 launched designs in leather as well as stainless, and introduced polyester kids medical id bracelets that had cute designs. The sport strap line of child medical id's she introduced nearly 20 years ago is still the most popular line of children's medical jewelry on the market today. And, we now produce more than 100 different styles of medical alert bracelets and necklaces for men and women. Our engraved bracelets are individually custom engraved by our team of master engravers, ship within three (M-F) business days from the date you order, and all products come with a 90 warranty against manufacturing defects. Please come and shop with us today. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

Should my child with Diabetes wear a Medical ID?

Should my child with Diabetes wear a Medical ID?

Posted by Lori Torman on 6th May 2026

Yes, medical health organizations strongly recommend that children with diabetes wear a medical ID at all times.

If your child experiences severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), they may become confused, unable to speak, or even lose consciousness. A medical ID "speaks" for them when they cannot, ensuring they receive the correct life-saving treatment quickly.

Why a Children's Medical ID is Essential

  • Prevents Misdiagnosis: Symptoms of low blood sugar, such as slurred speech or confusion, can be mistaken for other issues. A child’s ID immediately clarifies the medical cause.
  • Faster Emergency Care: First responders are trained to look for medical IDs (especially on the wrist) during initial assessments.
  • Informs Treatment: It warns paramedics to check blood glucose and prevents them from administering treatments that could worsen certain conditions, like certain IV fluids.
  • Identifies Equipment: It can alert responders to the presence of an insulin pump or continuous glucose monitor (CGM) so they don't accidentally damage or remove it.
  • Peace of Mind: It provides a safety net when your child is at school, traveling, or playing sports without you nearby. 

✍️ What to Include on the ID

  • Full Name
  • Medical Condition: e.g., "Type 1 Diabetes" and/or "Insulin Dependent."
  • Critical Medications: List insulin or other glucose-lowering drugs
  • Allergies: Any severe drug or food allergies
  • Emergency Contacts: One or two phone numbers for parents or guardians
