Alyssa, I use the Animas Vibe along with the Dexcom. No pump is ideal right now. Most people here use the Prodigy Voice for a BG meter. I use the FreeStyle Lite with a speech box that well, ummm, my hubby and I made. <grin> Veronica

Thank you both for your welcome and introduction messages.

Eileen, what kind of pump do you use? I use an Animas Ping with a OneTouch Ultra Mini glucose meter. I use my remaining vision to operate both, but I've always wondered if there is a better, less visual option. My pump has an audio bolus feature, which is helpful, but most of the time I use magnification to read my pump's screen.

Thanks.

Alyssa
