[Diabetes-talk] Safe Shot sold by Maxiaids

[COLLEEN ROTH]

 Hello Everyone,
Has anyone ever used Safe Shot sold by Maxiaids. I am looking for Equipment for a blind Diabetic to measure her Insulin independently.
The person at Maxiaids tried but couldn't get a lot of information for me.
I know this item has three presets and that it is only $12.95.
I would like to know if anyone has any more information.
Who manufactures it, can the patient get their syruues from their local Pharmacy, Can the Physician or his Designee change the preset if Insulin amount changes, are the syringues 1 cc?
I am thinking that maybe Dawn can be taught to use the count a dose for 45 units and the Safe Shot for 100 units if we get a little more information about the Safe Shot?
Is the Safe Shot on the order of the device AFB sold years ago?
How do you measure an odd number of units, for example 45 units. Is every two units one click?
Who would be able to teach Dawn how to use the Count a Dose.
So far no one who has looked at it has a clue.
I am a Diabetic but I do not take Insulin.
The other totally blind Diabetics I know in Toledo have someone measure their insulin and set it up for them.
Of course I do not know every totally blind diabetic.
The diabetic educator at one of our hospitals said I was the first totally blind person she ever worked with when she worked with me with the Prodigy Meter.
Thanks,
