Gary,

As a totally blind person who used an insulin pump for nearly 20 years, I
never gave myself a wrong insulin dose despite current pumps having no
nonvisual interface. Every pump on the market has fail-safes built in for
any user, which often works well for nonvisual use. As we all know, the
problem right now with pumps is that in order to access any function, you
have to unlock the screen now, and there's really no way to do this
nonvisually since it's not always the same part of the screen you tap to
unlock. But in terms of misdosing, personally, was not an issue.

Thanks very much.do you think this pump sstem will have an accessible app
that would work with I OS or android to make life a bit simplier for blind
users like you and i. that is my fear and worry about insulin pumps as I
will make the mistake and administer more insulin then I need then have lows
and it wont be fun
