[Diabetes-Talk] Knowledge about Embrace

[Andy Langbart]

Bridgit,

I have not started using the Embrace reader yet, but I did do extensive 
research on it before I decided to stop using Prodigy. When I was 
looking into it, I did ask about whether or not it would be accessible 
for someone who is blind or low vision and was told that is would be 
fine. My Embrace software will be set up within the next two days and 
then I can tell you firsthand how it is.

Regards,

Andy
