[Diabetes-Talk] MiniMedtronic 780G App(s)?

[Jamie Gurganus]

Aileen,


My friend, who is not blind, but a longtime Medtronic pump user switched to the Dexcom and Tandem. He absolutely hated their. CGM and as much happier using Dexcom. I’m using the Omnipod five system with the Dexcom six right now, and it is pretty much almost what I would consider totally accessible for the blind. If you love your Dexcom, I would look for a pump that goes with it.
