Blind diabetics and those
losing vision can continue to be independent. The blind can and do accurately
draw up insulin, monitor blood glucose levels, etc. “Limitations” are usually
self-imposed, and often all that is needed to overcome negative thinking is
simply to know where to go for information. Some equipment (i.e. audio
output devices) has been adapted for the blind. By using alternative techniques
and products, the blind can control their diabetes as efficiently as do their
sighted peers. For further information
