[Diabetes-Talk] Join Dexcom's Accessibility Initiative

[gmelconian619 at gmail.com]

Veronica, I know thatt your  and advicate of dexcom, but not all can afford
the dexcom and have to pay  a lot of stuf that are diabetic related out of
pocket. As not all are privilege like some for  stuf being covered by the
government and medicare, and are self employed and have to pay  for
insurance hwihc which is very expensive   in California  being diabetic .
please have some consideration for  those who have  other financial
challenges and have other priorities in running a business, paying for a
mortgage an more important things  like keeping a roof over  their  head,
food on the table and etc. have to use   alternatives and   not all can
afford to  have an I phone or a dexcom. But have to  use alternative like
android and other  cgm system like libre . I am a bit disappointed that this
community always has a down attitude towards android and talkback and cgm
system that are not dexcom or I phone related.

Gary, the Dexcom graph is something that is created after the fact. So
Dexcom originally stores all of the readings as raw data and then converts
it to a graphical format so it's easier to follow. Many of us have been
asking to have the option to look at the original raw data. It's already
there. It would be simple for them to do. Pain in the you know what to read,
but at least we could use it if we really needed the information.

What are you talking about. What aspects of freestyle libre do you not see
accessible.  If you  want to have access to the graphs   to be read  by
mobile screen readers, that will never happen with either I OS or android
with either sscreenreader or with aeitehr the dexcom or libre app on the
mobile phone. I don't know what is involved but that has been my experience
using both dexcom an freestyle libre cgm systems.
