You are correct; there is no accessible insulin pump at this time although,
once basal rates are set with the help of a sighted person, a limited number
of pumps give aural indications that allow a blind person to administer
his/her own boluses. These pumps, unfortunately, are becoming fewer and
fewer as more and more pumps have touch-screens and menu systems to regulate
their activities.

Hi, Bridgit.

My husband is Type 1 as well. We've discussed the pump, but to my knowledge,
there is not an accessible pump. Is this correct?
