[Diabetes-talk] Need Info about Advocate Meter

[Mike Freeman]

So do we all.  NFB's Technology Bill of Rights and the already-passed
Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (which both
NFB and ACB supported) would go far toward making this happen.  We would
parlay the Technology Bill of Rights to cover medical devices such as blood
glucose meters, keytone test kits, A1C test kits and insulin pumps.

Thanks, Mike.  I long for the day when devices have to be completely
accessible without sighted assistance!
