[Diabetes-talk] help being blind is all right but being blind and diabetic is not good at all

[Fidano]

I've not used the count a dose, but doesn't the NFB store  offer this? 
thought maybe they would have  some  info available for using it in Braille 
or electronic format?
But am curious about the BP cuff.. its audible? and Did she tell you how 
well it worked compared to what she might use?..
