[Diabetes-Talk] Not working

Fri Dec 28 02:53:16 UTC 2018

Pharmacies can't possibly know how to use every single device and product.
They probably do their best, but ultimately, that doesn't seem feasible.
That's why it's good to have products doctors and their staff know how to
use and a product with good tech support. Groups like this are also great
resources.

Glad things are working out for you now.

It was interesting to me to hold down one side of the phone to slide to the
other to get more of the app to work.
Then once he got on the computer to help with pass word so I could change
it, working on the phone changing it I did by myself with Ed listening on
the phone.
It is good our phones let us multitask to get help one is needed at the
time.
Yes I will ask questions here, it seems the blind can help each other than
the sighted looking at something and can't figure it out.

Rite or wrong, I feel if a company or drugstore is going to sell something,
they need to know how to work the product.
I know it is a learning curve where again learn it.
I am hoping this will be much better as time follows threw.
