[Diabetes-Talk] Question about Ozempic pen and Accessibility

[Les Fitzpatrick]

Emily I was on Ozempic for a while and I did count the clicks because it was
the only way to know and measure how much I was taking.  I also worked with
a sighted person and I would count the clicks and the dosage was correct,
and we did it several times just to make sure

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Question about Ozempic pen and Accessibility

Hi, everyone. I am trying to figure out how blind people use the Ozempic pen
when they have to dial in a dose instead of just using the entire dose. For
example, if someone is starting with 0.25 or 0.5 mg, they may have to use a
pen containing 2 mg For which you have to turn the dial a certain number of
clicks to get the desired dose. The manufacturer adamantly states that
counting clicks is not an accurate way of dosing, but I would like to get
any experiences or opinions about this from the people who actually matter,
those of us who are blind and Those of us who might need to use this pen.
Thank you so much for your time.
