[Kane Brolin]

This goes to a narrow but extremely important audience: people who are
blind and who require the use of an insulin pump to control diabetes.

As you will see from the below details, an online conversation about
this topic is to occur via the Zoom platform tomorrow evening
[Thursday, October 28] beginning at 7:00 PM Eastern Time U.S.  For
login details, please write in advance to pmiller at nfb.org.

Thank you.

A CONVERSATION ON ACCESSIBLE INSULIN PUMPS ON OCTOBER 28

In our effort to continue to work with insulin pump manufacturers to ensure
that nonvisual accessibility is being emphasized as they develop future
technologies, the National Federation of the Blind will be hosting a
conversation with representatives from the Insulet Corporation, the makers
of Omnipod(R). We would like to hear from blind and low-vision individuals
about the challenges they face, the solutions they may have developed, and
the features they would like to see in the future. Although we are
interested in hearing comments from blind and low-vision diabetics in
general, we are especially interested in hearing from individuals who use
the Omnipod specifically.

The conversation will take place on Thursday, October 28, 2021, at 7:00
p.m. eastern. We will use the Zoom platform, which offers a call-in option
as well. Interested individuals should send an email to Pat Miller,
pmiller at nfb.org, in order to receive the Zoom information. Please let us
know if you are blind, if you are a diabetic, and which insulin pump you
use, if any.
