Description
This listing is for a Blue/Grey two tone Diabetes type 1 Awarness bracelet, or your choice of either blue or grey for Diabetes Type 2 Awareness.
Originally, the awareness ribbon colour for diabetes was grey, but a blue circle logo also represents diabetes, so there is some disagreement about which ribbon colour to use- I’ll leave the choice up to you!
Awareness Ribbons, a commonly seen 21st Century phenomenon, were created to increase general public awareness of a particular illness, disability or condition, and to gather support for its sufferers.
It is a simple way to show your support for a specific cause, or perhaps even to indicate that you are suffering from that particular condition yourself.
Every day, new coloured ribbons are added to the growing list of internationally recognised conditions, and have often become synonymous with the condition itself eg the pink ribbon which denotes breast cancer awareness.
This Diabetes Awareness bracelet is made from faux suede, and is available in a range of sizes and is fully adjustable with an extension chain. Just let me know the size required in the ‘length’ text box.
The suede band attaches to an infinity symbol, to represent the universality of the condition, and to emphasise that this condition is something that affects the sufferer each minute of each hour of each and every day. Alternatively, you can choose to replace the infinity symbol with an affirmation ring with the word STRENGTH stamped on it, to represent the fight that sufferers battle through on a daily basis, see listing photo for examples of these different options.
Finally, a charm is added as a finishing touch.
You can choose a blue enamelled awareness ribbon, a plain silver awareness ribbon, a silver ‘hope’ ribbon. However, you may prefer a ‘spoony’ charm, which refers to the ‘Spoon Theory’ an explanation to help others understand how living with a chronic condition can affect a sufferer.
Please choose your preferences by typing in the box to select your charm.
