The DI Toilet Facilities Card is to help Diabetes Insipidus patients gain urgent access to a toilet in public places, such as shops, if public conveniences are not easily available.  The card explains to shop staff what DI is and why a patient may want urgent access to a toilet.

The wording on the reverse of these cards is as follows:

Due to a disorder called Diabetes Insipidus, which prevents my kidneys from retaining water, I need to use a toilet urgently at times. Would you kindly allow me to use the nearest loo? DI is caused by a hormonal deficiency and is not contagious.

If you would like a card, please send a stamped self-addressed envelope to the Support Unit, The Pituitary Foundation, PO Box 1944, Bristol, BS99 2UB. Please mark your envelope 'DI Card'.

These cards are only available to patients in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
