[Diabetes-Talk] Exciting news Medtronics 770 pump

This seems pointless to me. Even if you can use visually, what does a stationary app get you? You wear the pump, so how difficult is it to check the same info from your pump? Not understanding an app that does nothing.

The new pumps will continue to NOT be accessible to blind users. The apps only display pump information; they do not allow you to perform any pump functions such as delivering a bolus, setting a temporary basal rate, or suspending the pump. Unfortunately, doing this still remains in the future.
