[Diabetes-Talk] question about insulin pumps

[gary-melconian]

I will try to find the correct spelling of it.i will let you know as I was told about it yesterday.as i posed the same concerns as I knew from the  list that there are no accessible pumps and all are digital touch related.

Is this the correct spelling? And is it the brand name or company name? I've not heard of it, but last I checked, which was just a few months ago, the only pumps on the market able to be used by blind diabetics were the Medtronic 530G and the Omnipod. Your best bet is to play with the pump and see if there are any work-arounds to make it accessible.

I remember this meter. It does sound like a really good one. Unfortunately, it is not available here in the US. I’m glad you still have it in Australia though. Wish we did. Thanks for sharing.
