  Hi.  My wife (sighted) is a diabetic and I'm a total.  Linda was diagnosed
  almost 10 years ago, and is heavily insulin-dependent.  We've been muddling
  through - maybe half a dozen incidents of heavy insulin shock over ten
  years, and I've always been able to handle things, but last night was
  different. I wound up calling 911.  What I'm looking for is how a blind
  person can best be prepared to handle emergencies with a diabetic partner.
  I looked at the list archives but didn't see a search function.  I've got
  emergency sugar stashed away, but I need to make sure I can read her blood
  sugar without depending on Linda - surely there are solutions for this.  If
  anyone has suggestions, I'd be more than grateful.

   

  Best regards,

   

  --Robert
