I've also been a totally blind pump user for almost 23 years now and never
gave myself the wrong dose.  I've used four different makes and models of
pumps now, and all have a way to make sure you are giving yourself the
correct dose.  Of course, one does need to pay attention to the dosage
confirmation before pressing the "Go" button!

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
