Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Using a CGM Without a Smartphone

Hi Veronica and all,

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway. Is
there any way for a blind person to use a CGM (in this case the Freestyle)
without the smartphone app? I need this information for a health
professional working with a blind person who does not have, or want a
smartphone, yet he was sent a CGM from a diabetes supply company in FL (I
assume it was ordered for him?). 

Thanks for any and all help.

Sandi

Fortunately, I'm over 65 so I'm covered anyway. And I just got an
appointment reminder. Yay! That means my second vaccine has not been
cancelled. Woo hoo! Tomorrow!

Yes I think that your right on that one just tried my California state
website for that and its saying that  I am still not eligible to  get mine
even though I am 48 and have type 2 diabetes and an eye condition as  well.

Good evening everyone,

	It's also considered a vulnerable condition in Texas. It's just a
matter of getting that golden ticket to an appointment for the shot(s)that's
the challenge. I'm sure it's that way all over the country. All the best.

Hello,
Yes type one is considered a vulnerable condition, at least it is where I
live in Ohio. I am scheduled to get my first dose this Thursday.
