[Diabetes-Talk] FW: I agree. The press, the media and more

[Diana Cook]

I have used pump ever since they became user friendly; before any vision problems. It has made  life so much more flexible! I can, with a magnifying glass, still use my 630 pump. I am terrified of having to give up my pump though I know that day is coming! I really hope someone designs one manageable for blind and low vision diabetics! Diana cook
