[Diabetes-talk] Lantus pin

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Rachel,

There is no talking pump, but many pumps have audio sounds that allow blind
people to use them. I use the Animas Ping. I have certain menus and
functions memorized, and I use written directions for other functions. Some
of the functions beep, though not all, but the buttons have a discernable
push, so you know you have selected something when you push. I have been on
an insulin pump for 10 years, and I have never had a problem with my pump
because I did not know what I did or screwed something up. And I have had
the best control and management ever, and I have had diabetes for 30 years.

The Medtronic is another pump good for blind people. Veronica on the list
has played with mor pumps than me and may have more advice.

Bridgit

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?
Rachel
