[Diabetes-Talk] Exciting news Medtronics 770 pump

[gary-melconian]

When you guys who are pump users get these newer pumps with I phone and voice over capabilities built in. Please do let us  who are not pump users  and who maybe interested know about it an how accessible it will be to use  for a blind user of diabetes whether that be type 1 or type 2 and if they will also be available on android as well with talkback. As usually whatever  is accessible with I OS and voice over is usually accessible on android with talkback.

Do you know if you can do pretty much everything on the phone app that you would be normally doing on the pump screen and is it VoiceOver compatible?
Is the pump itself a touchscreen?
