[Diabetes-Talk] Knowledge about Embrace

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

My diabetes clinic doesn't even use the Prodigy software, so, even if I
wanted to download at the office, it's not an option.

Andy, I agree with Bridgit. I want to know about how accessible this device
is to set up and use.

I do my logs in Excel as well.

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
