[Diabetes-talk] Accessible Insulin Pumps???

[Veronica Elsea]

Just want to add a little something here. No one sets my pump up for 
me. No one fills my cartridges for me. I can tell the alarms I need 
by their behavior. Now I don't use alarms to remind me to test and 
other things like that. I wouldn't use them were I sighted either. I 
do my own basal testing and make changes in the basal rates using 
software on my computer. In the beginning I did sit down with my 
hubby and go through the manual. I have a file in my Braille Lite 
which lists the items in the menus so I can double-check my counting 
if I need to. I'm glad I didn't wait for complete access even though 
naturally that's what I want. I've been using a pump since 1991 and I 
just can't imagine living without one.
I'll be very interested to watch the development of the DDI pump 
though. Looks like it will be no tubing, which would be nice. I'll be 
interested to compare filling the reservoir with filling the pod on 
the OmniPod though. I hope it's simpler. <grin.>
