WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - May 18, 2010 - Statistics show that young and
old alike typically do not like wearing medical bracelets because of
their appearance. Not so with American Idol favorite Crystal Bowersox.
Bowersox, who made headlines when she landed in the hospital early
this season from diabetes, sports a Hope Paige Designs rope medical
bracelet on the show.
Hope Paige Designs sent Bowersox the bracelet along with a dozen of
their popular "DIABETES SUCKS"blue rubber bracelets after her
stay in the hospital to give her a lift. The "DIABETES SUCKS"
bracelets can be seen on the wrists of various idol contestants in
support of Bowersox. Finalist Lee Dewyze wore one on Wednesday May 12,
2010 during American Idol, while former contestant Tim Urban wore one
in previous weeks.
"Teens and young people who are afraid of standing out, can use role
models and celebrities such as Crystal to help encourage them to wear
medical bracelets," says Hope Paige Designs President Shelly Fisher.
"We sent several types of rope bracelets to Crystal and were very
happy to see her wear our khaki style 24 hours after she received
it." Hope Paige Designs created the rubber style bracelet so that
family members and friends can support their loved ones who have the
disease.
Hope Paige Designs, a leader in the medical bracelet industry, creates
fashion friendly and fun medical bracelets. There are too many young
people particularly with diabetes who can end up at a police station
instead of a hospital ER as blood sugar reactions can resemble
intoxication. "We have parents call us all the time and thank us for
making styles that their teens will actually wear, and styles [the
parents] can wear too," Fisher says. "We are thrilled to have
Crystal wearing one of our bracelets. By wearing the bracelet, Crystal
encourages teens to wear medical bracelets fashionably without feeling
self-conscious."
These new medical bracelet styles allow teens and adults to feel
fashionable and safe at the same time. "[Medical alert] bracelets
help when we cannot speak for ourselves. Wearing one
on your left wrist can literally save your life," says Fisher.
