 the medical treatment is a glucose dose for treating a diabetic condition; and   the void space of the loop structure contains the glucose dose that is accessible to the user.   
     
     
         4 . The apparel item as recited in  claim 2 , wherein:
 the containment seal is a removable plug configured to seal the void space of the loop structure; and   the removable plug is configured to pull out for access to the medical treatment contained in the void space of the loop structure.   
     
     
         5 . The apparel item as recited in  claim 2 , wherein:
 the containment seal is a breakable seal configured to seal the void space of the loop structure; and   the breakable seal is configured to break for access to the medical treatment contained in the void space of the loop structure.   
     
     
         6 . The apparel item as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fastening apparatus is a magnetic fastener configured to:
 couple a first end of the loop structure to a second end of the loop structure, securing the loop structure around the appendage of the user; and   separate the first end of the loop structure from the second end of the loop structure for removal of the loop structure from the user.   
     
     
         7 . The apparel item as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the loop structure is a necklace loop configured to be worn around a neck of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The apparel item as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the loop structure is one of a bracelet loop or an anklet loop configured to be worn around a respective wrist or ankle of the user.
