November is American Diabetes Month, and to help raise awareness, manufacturer American Medical ID will be giving away free medical ID bracelets all month.
To claim your free bracelet, “like” American Medical ID on Facebook starting on November 1, then provide your information using the “Free Diabetes Medical ID” application. IDs will be available in two styles — a black silicone band with white letters and a white silicone band with red letters — and will come in two sizes. The bracelets are completely free — there are no shipping or handling costs.
“Leading medical institutions and diabetes-related nonprofits recommend the use of medical IDs for people with diabetes. It is our pleasure to offer this program as a way to help provide safety and peace of mind to everyone in the diabetes community,” said Rick Russell, President and CEO of American Medical ID.
For more information, visit the American Medical ID Facebook page.

I wish people would do their promotions via the web as well as Facebook. I won’t be on the site, but I miss out on stuff for no particularly good reason.
