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

[Veronica Elsea]

I tried to interest a programmer in the idea of controlling a pump 
from a cell phone. Think of the freedom we'd have then! But everyone 
these days is afraid of the liability. Sees! But these young, cheaper 
programmers just love the easy graphic stuff. I wish accessibility 
were a bigger part of programming training. Kind of like architects 
who are so set on creating interesting looking stairs that they 
forget about basic functionality. Same thing.
And I definitely did need sighted help to label the graphics for the 
pump software. The people at the company told me that even they 
weren't fond of the design. I tried to sell them on the notion that 
they were paying this third party company to design software so they 
could say what was and was not acceptable. I think we would have 
gotten a more accessible design if the company hadn't gotten out of 
the diabetes business. Bummer!
