[Diabetes-talk] Talking Insulin pump is it out yet?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Since diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness, you would
think they would develop more tools and items like talking insulin
pumps.

My nurse educator pushes for this whenever she speaks at conferences, or
attends seminars.  It just makes sense.

If they can make some of the talking toys I see for children, they can
certainly produce an insulin pump.

Why are we always fighting for this stuff?  It gets tiring.

Bonna:



The answers are NO and NO.  Manufacturers are notoriously
overly-optimistic re 

release dates.

diabetic?
