[Diabetes-Talk] using insulin pumps

[sandi]

Amber’s, Bridgit’s and Veronica’s messages all should be shared with the NFB. I believe they state the need for accessibility and usability better than anything I’ve read in a long time! It’s fine to have all these apps run and staffed by well-meaning sighted people or, for that matter, blind people, but they do not diminish the need for accessibility that provides independence. And, by the way, I know what Echo is, but I choose not to own one, for the same reason I don’t pay for AIRA (well, this as the money outlay), I don’t want strangers knowing that much about me.

The problem is, for one thing, it's such tiny motion that touching anything
causes stuff to happen so it would be really tedious to try to use a pump
this way. Given how often I interact with my pump, man would that use up
minutes, even if it were successful. In addition, when you're doing some
things, you're not completely dressed. Thanks for the thought though.

Hi all,

 

All I know about insulin pumps is what I have read on this list, but may I
make a suggestion re using the touch screen controller:

 

Would it help to use the Aira service to have an agent tell you where the
appropriate control is, so you can press it.

Paul from Australia
