[4Alabama] Accessible Insulin Pumps

[Jennifer Reeves]

*A Conversation on Accessible Insulin Pumps on October 28:*

As part of our nonvisual accessibility initiatives, the National Federation
of the Blind will be hosting a conversation on Thursday, October 28, 2021,
at 7:00 p.m., eastern with representatives from the Insulet Corporation,
the makers of Omnipod. We request feedback from blind and low-vision
individuals about the challenges they face, the solutions they may have
developed, and the features they would like to see in the future. Email to
Pat Miller, pmiller at nfb.org, in order to receive the Zoom information.
Please let us know if you are blind, if you are a diabetic, and which
insulin pump you use, if any.
