[Diabetes-talk] insulin pump for the blind

[cheryl echevarria]

yes Jessica you do.

I have the say that I have been on the pump for over a month now, with a little training a blind person can use the pump safely.

If anyone would be interested you can contact me at 631-236-5138 for more information.

There are only 2 or 3 buttons to use, you know the difference, I recognize the beeps, and my sugars have gone down to normal with the pump.

So it can be use independently.

if you can use a syringe safely this is even better.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
