<div>Hi! My name is Arpi Simonyan, and I’m a teenager diabetic from Armenia, who is worried about safety of diabetics in my country. I am launching a project to design medical ID accessories — bracelets, pins and sticker — to give those away to diabetics under 18 years old (for now).
</div>
<div>For people with diabetes, emergencies can happen at any time. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can cause confusion, fainting, or seizures. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can lead to life-threatening conditions. But in those moments, strangers and even medical personnel might not recognize the symptoms.
</div>
<div>That’s where simple yet powerful accessories come in. A visible bracelet, pin, or sticker can alert first responders, teachers, or bystanders that the person is diabetic — helping them get the right care fast.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I’m Creating &amp; How It Works
</div>
<div>I am designing a collection of free accessories for diabetics to wear every day:
</div>
<div>•Medical Alert Bracelets – Clearly marked with “Type 1 Diabetic” or “Type 2 Diabetic” for easy identification.
</div>
<div>•Awareness Pins &amp; Stickers – Fun, visible, and designed to spark conversations about diabetes.
</div>
<div>•Emergency QR Code – A scannable code linking to emergency contacts or medical instructions.
</div>
<div>These aren’t just accessories. They can save lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Project Matters
</div>
<div>As a diabetic, I know how scary it can be to feel vulnerable in public. Many diabetics have been in situations where their low blood sugar is mistaken for intoxication, or they are unable to communicate their medical needs in an emergency.
</div>
<div>This issue is even more pressing in places like Armenia, where diabetes awareness is still low and count as something embarrassing. Many teachers, caregivers, and first responders aren’t trained to recognize diabetic symptoms, which can lead to dangerous delays in getting help.
</div>
<div>By making these free and widely available, I hope to give diabetics an extra layer of safety and increase public awareness about diabetes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Donation Will Help
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised will go directly toward producing and distributing these accessories at absolutely no cost to diabetics who need them. Here’s how your support makes a difference:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$10 → Covers the cost of 5 stickers or 3 pins for diabetics in local communities.
</div>
<div>$25 → Produces high-quality bracelets for 5 people who need them.
</div>
<div>$100+ → Helps me expand the project, reaching more people and covering shipping costs for those in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help?
</div>
<div>•Donate – Every contribution, big or small, helps get these accessories into the hands of diabetics for free.
</div>
<div>•Share This Page – If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, or social media helps raise awareness.
</div>
<div>•Spread Awareness – Talk to your community about diabetes, medical IDs, and how recognizing symptoms can save lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Means So Much to Me
</div>
<div>This project is personal. No one should feel unsafe or invisible because of their medical condition. Diabetes is misunderstood, but together, we can change that. These accessories are small, but their impact is huge—they can mean the difference between someone getting the help they need or being overlooked in an emergency.
</div>
<div>With your help, we can make sure every diabetic has the safety, support, and recognition they deserve.
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this mission. Your support means the world.
</div>
