[Diabetes-Talk] Anyone using AIRA?

[Milton Ota]

I would think that if you want to use AIRA it would be b best using it 
with the glasses which will require a scription to the service. If you 
are a member of a NFB state affiliate you can sign up for a special 
pricing that is being offered to NFB members. You might also want to 
check with them at their booth if you are attending the convention in Orlando.

Using the glasses will allow you to do whatever you need to do with 
hands free to tend to your medical needs.

The agents that work for AIRA are highly trained and all personal 
information is kept confidential. You set up a profile upon your first 
connection with an agent once you have received your glasses and they 
do a good job of orienting you to everything you need to know.

Should you have further questions I suggest that you speak with someone 
in their customer service and/or visit their website at http:aira.io
