[Diabetes-Talk] trying a new meter

[Doula Jarboe]

 LOL Yes, getting blood all over the meter doesn't sound like a
wonderful thing at all. My understanding is you move your finger in
front of and across the face, but don't touch anything. I could be
wrong about that, but that was the impression I got. My Diabetes
educater is very familiar with all the frustrations blind people have
with using a standard meter. So I'm hoping she knows what she's
talking about and this might, hopefully be easier. I do live with a
sighted person, and between the visual aspect and my arthritis issues
in my hands, at least half the time need assistance. The Dexcom, which
I do currently have the G5 does make life much easier. So, this go
around, I've got it on my left upper arm with an overlay patch. So
far, so good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the
first to last all 7 days. I'll check in after tomorrow afternoon's
training and give an update. Hopefully I won't be frustrated or
disappointed.
