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

[Mike Freeman]

I thought a CD came with the count-a-dose.

As for BP machines, I'm not sure *any* home machine is as good as that which
one finds in a doctor's office.

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?..
