[Diabetes-talk] Fw: Insulin pen study at the NFB Convention

[Mike Freeman]

Actually, testimonials wouldn't necessarily be of help to Ms. Williams 
who is conducting the study. She already knows that blind persons use 
pens without difficulty. She is hoping to demonstrate this by an actual 
study which has to be designed a certain way in order to meet the 
criteria of the university under whose auspices the study is being 
conducted.

Cheryl ,
 not sure if your supplementing my question to Mike.. yep, each unit is 
a
click but seems it might be of some  help to write  a testimony so to 
speak,
and send to person who is conducting this panel/research of our personal
experiences using these pens?
