Dear SueC:

My braclet says Hydrocortisone Dependent.

I wear it all the time except when I sleep. It seems to bind up against my wrist if I sleep with it on.

Sometimes people will say what a nice braclet it is, expecting me to tell them about it, usually I don't. Other times people will ask, " Oh, are you a diabetic ?"  I tell them no and just say," I lack the ability to make cortisone and I take medication to make up for that." I try to keep it short and simple.
