[Diabetes-Talk] Replacement blind friendly Meter recommendations

[Jamie Gurganus]

I haven’t had any problems getting a sample on the test strip since both meters have you touched the end of the strip. After pricking  and then pumping my finger, Hshei just tap the end of the test strip with my finger. Sometimes, I pick up the meter and take the strip to my finger if I am using my thumbs. That might be a way for you to get the job done. You can guide the strip to your finger instead of doing it the other way around.
