[Diabetes-talk] Wow!!! Guess everyone is awake now???

[Lucy.Alexander Mercer]

You probably already know this, so forgive me if I'm wasting your time.   Graphics can also be labeled with JAWS.  I think a reader would be required to help identify the graphics.  I do not know the steps for labeling graphics because it has been years since I did this, but when I learned to label them, I labeled all kinds of graphics in my e-mail program and learned that an e-mail was identified by type (telephone message, message, task, etc.) and was "read" or unread".  I never knew those graphics were there and wondered what else I was missing on the computer.  I am not sure but think upgrading might remove the settings unless you could merge settings from one version of JAWS to another.  Labeling graphics is easy and these companies should be doing that.  With all the knowledge out there, I have a hard time believing that these companies cannot write accessible software.  Makes one want to reform a talented hacker putting his/her skills to good use.

Yes, I have the Cosmo too, as I said. The beeping function does make it
easier, and safer, to know what you're doing. It would be nice to use
the other features though, as well as be able to completely
independently operate, and adjust, things as I need to.

I may have to contact you off-list about accessing basal patterns with
the software on the computer. That would make life a bit easier for me
right now! Smile.

Bridget, I'm hanging on to my Cozmo for dear life! <grin.> I just 
managed to sit down with my hubby one day, labeled the graphics in 
the software and made a Window-Eyes set file that works quite well. 
It's nice because I have a separate set of basal rates for use when 
I'm on Prednisone. This makes it easy to switch. When I changed to 
using Apidra I ended up changing the length of action.
The pump does have features I can't use, like the food lists, low BG 
information. And sometimes it's a bit rough not being able to read 
how much is left in the cartridge. But right now it's the only pump 
that beeps when you go up and down menus and such. So hmmm, given how 
my insurance works, that gives someone about a year and a half to 
invent something better! <laughing!>
