Austin Cooper was fifteen years old when diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
He had to walk away from his old life, and embrace what his new life with Diabetes held in store from him.
After going through booklets and scouring the net, Austin was still not comfortable with the chunky chains he needed to wear for life-saving identification. It doesn’t make a young person diagnosed with this condition feel any better about it when they are presented with clunky, unhip bracelets with a red cross in the middle screaming, ”I’m a walking emergency!!”
In fact, it’s quite poetic.
When I see people with Diabetes dragging the clunky versions of medical ID along with them , it almost feels like they have resigned themselves to the fact that they are “chained” to Diabetes.
Austin tried four different versions of the “chain” before deciding that the market for Medical ID was left behind in a time way before his years. He couldn’t make himself wear what was available, so he decided that he needed to make a difference.
Look no further. Austin Cooper has just brought bling to sting.
Austin’s website, www.evasionid.com, showcases his two very modern, sleek, stylish and funky medical ID designs. They are suitable for anyone with Type 1 Diabetes; on the front,they have a stainless steel engraved medical panel, “Type 1 Diabetes“ stamped on the back and are 100% leather to boot!
Not only that, but with every purchase, Austin donates 10% to our favourite charity, JDRF.:D

Just in case you missed how much I love Austin Cooper’s new diabetes innovation, check out his website
(My son, Lance already has his picked out. Actually, he wants one in two colours to mix and match.)
While I’m at it, I think huge kudos need to be given to Austin, one so new to life with Diabetes, yet one so determined to honour himself through his creativity, AND the entire Diabetes community worldwide. With 10% of his profits going to JDRF, he is also contributing to help find the cure that kids like my Lance and Austin deserve so, so much.
We, who put fashion before function, we praise you, Austin Cooper!!
