Fitbit band with medical alert symbol

[Lynnesota]

I am a Type1 diabetic, and my doctor wants me to wear a medical alert identification at all times.  Big problem:  They're all UGLY!  I wish Fitbit would make and sell Fitbit bands that include the medical alert symbol.  Then we could "kill 2 birds with 1 stone!"
I wrote to Fitbit to make this request, and they suggested I come to a discussion board to see if others have the same wish.  I hope LOTS of you would be interested, and then maybe they'd do this for us!

My name is Jessika and I totally agree with you because I have a couple of medical conditions that I have to keep track of and one I would want people to be aware of in case I were to have a seizure or reaction because of two of my other medical conditions.

Thru Med-ID.com/CAN you can order a metal engravable plate add on that goes over your fitbit bracelet,  $50 plus 7 lines engraving for $9 plus shipping & handling

Get stainless steel laser engraved Alert ID Tag by MIA-MIA thru Amazon.   Fits my Charge 5 perfectly.   Fits any 0.86 inch (22mm) wide watch band.

2025 update: Now there are "tags" available to attach to the wristband, and I'd much prefer that, because you can put critical info for EMTs on it.


There are a lot of them for Apple watches, as usual, so it's harder to find smaller ones that will work for Fitbits. But the Small version of this should work for the Charge 5 and 6 size bands (mine measures .75 in. wide):

I've ordered one and will report back after it arrives if there are problems with it -- assuming I can find this post again.

Fitbit Flex was eons ago! The second Fitbit I think (I had one, now have a Charge 6). 

I checked the Road ID site but didn't find any mention of Fitbit, so I surmise that they've stopped making that kind.

Lauren's Hope and LinnaLove bracelets are typically good quality. I returned one but have bought about 4 over the years.

My Charge 6 band made by another company is .75 inches, just in case that info helps anyone.
