Tim,
My Med alert is on my right wrist so it doesn't get mixed up with
my watch. With experiences you have had I would make it very
easy for them to find your dosage when you need your meds and
not have to search for it.
I found that when they go into my purse-- they leave it a mess.
It sure doesn't look like it did before they got into it.
