Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom patches
Message-ID: <2489365b.82f9.40da.8e5b.4383aae1f488@samobile.net>

Hi there,
I just got back from my doctor who is sending over patches for me to 
put down first,
Then the dexcom and then the patch that goes around the sencer I think it is.
Something has changed where my skin isn't liking it and causing sores.
So far they are not infected, that is good.
I put stuff on it so it will heal.
I will have to write down what it is because the name is new to me.
Now I have the wide patches that I used to use for the libra, I am 
wondering if this would work as well.
the doctor said he is going to call the dexcom company sharing that 
people are coming in with the sores.
They need to change the tape so folks can use it.
Dar

I think  that  you could use the libre patchs with the dexcom.  Which ones
do you have . that  way I can tell you if it will work or not.

Dar, this is new to me. I forget, are you using the G6? The only thing I've
heard of is people getting allergic reactions to tape and actually spraying
things like Flonase on the skin first, saying that it helped. But obviously
I know nothing of your exact situation. With the G6, I actually stopped
using the overlays because the regular tape stuck just fine for me. I am
curious about this patch you're supposed to put under the sensor. I hope it
has a hole for the sensor to go through. I'd be worried that once I put a
first patch down, I wouldn't necessarily insert the sensor in exactly the
right place. Yikes! But in my world, I hope they don't change the tape.
Omnipod did change theirs, and a bunch of us are having issues with the tape
holding the cannulas in place. Sure seems like we just can't win with this
stuff. Please keep us posted.

Is it an IV prep wipe to use before placing the sensor on? I used to use
these prep wipes before placing my canula with my pump.

I have used the overlay patches but I don't use them unless the tape isn't
sticking very well. I always put the sensor on and then put the over lay
patch over the sensor because I don't know how you would make the sensor go
through the hole in the over lay.

no I need to have both to make sure it stays in place.
He said it is the patch the sensor is on.
Not the over lay.
He said the needles would go threw the patch.
I will try it in a week or so.

An IV prep wipe is used before inserting something like a sensor, and
obviously before an IV is inserted. It cleans the area, but can also help
protect the skin. I've also never heard of a patch that goes on before the
sensor, but maybe it's something new. Keep us posted.

Actually, I have never heard of this before. Just like Veronica, I would be a little skittish about putting something on underneath the sensor in case those needles wouldn?t stick through. Those needles are awfully small and short. Like I say, makes me a little skittish. But, if it really works?

I guess I?m a wuss. I definitely am one who needs the overlay patches to keep myself together.

Your not the only one. I am the same way. Its better to be safe and secure with an overlay patch then have a sensor fall off where   ever its placed with either one of these sensor companies.

Hi there,
I have never used what you are speaking about either.
Most of the time I don't have a problem.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] (3 weeks)NFB-PA to host first conference call for
 the NFB's Blind Parents Group - Saturday, 9/18/21 7pm EST
Message-ID: <CAERE8VYr7f=_O67ihJ56HETAmWwt=7_i9AHxRUJpzwgELUzsJw@mail.gmail.com>

*National Federation of the Blind*

*Blind Parents Group*

*Monthly National Conference Call*



Starting in September 2021, the National Federation of the Blind's Blind
Parents Group will be hosting a monthly conference call for all blind and
visually impaired parents. Each month, a state that has a blind parents
group will host the call.



In September 2021, the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania
(NFB-PA)'s Blind Parents Group will be the first host!



The NFB of PA is planning a 6-month workshop on the Powers of Positive
Parenting and we want to open up our first session to the entire National
Federation of the Blind!



*When*: Saturday, September 18, 2021 from 7pm to 8:30pm EST

*Who*: National Federation of the Blind's Blind Parents Group

*Host*: National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania

*Where*: Zoom (Information Below)

*What*: Monthly National Conference Call for Blind and Visually Impaired
Parents

*Topic*: Powers of Positive Parenting by Triple P Certified Facilitator



*About the Speaker: *

Valerie Anderson is a certified facilitator for the Power of Positive
Parenting (Triple P Program). She has a Master Degree in Social Work and
works part time as a parenting group facilitator at Turning Points for
Children?s Project F.A.M. Parenting Program for the past 7 years. Her group
facilitation skills include working with a variety of parents (i.e., women
in recovery, teen parents, early childhood parents?) in a variety of
settings throughout the city of Philadelphia.



*Overview of Triple P Program:*

The Triple P Program is an evidence- based program focused on parenting
children from the age 2-12 years old. It provides parents with positive
parenting techniques and strategies to teach children the skills to be
independent, manage their feelings, solve problems, and communicate to get
along with others. It has a cognitive behavior approach to parenting to
help children as well as parents make goals for change. Parents will be
able to develop their own personalized plans for positive parenting
strategies.



*Questions?*

For more information about the National Conference Call of the NFB's Blind
Parents Group or for more information about the NFB-PA's 6-month Triple P
Parenting classes, please contact Stacie Leap, Chair of the NFB-PA's Blind

Many years ago I was allergic to the adhesive used on my med Tronic pump infusion set and was instructed by health professionals do use either a product called Ivy 3000 or Tegaderm on the skin after cleaning and to insert the site over the top.  It does not help the site to stay on but may help for a person allergic to the product adhesive. So this might also work with a sensor. Of  Course some people are allergic to the adhesive on these products as well.

Hi everyone.
Okay, I want to know how you keep a Tegaderm patch smooth on the back of your arm. I've used them on my belly and other places I can easily reach. But it takes me two hands to hold it. Omnipod has these patches called pod pals that are kind of like the Dexcom overlays, but not as well done.

With these  overlay patchs, that  you place on back of arm. I usually have another  person help me out as I know I will mess this thing up no matter what I try.  Have had this happen and ended up throwing up very good overlay patch for the fac aht I made a mistake in how I was supposedto place them on y arm.

On the back of the arm you put it over the sensor. The thing is you take the tegaderm and center it on the sensor, hold it with one hand and peel half the tape off and put it on; then do the other half. It is tricky but it can be done. The more you practice, the smoother it gets.

So is it OK to put the Tegaderm over the Dexcom sensor after the transmitter is inserted and in the case of the libre as it is all in one piece over the entire thing. Dexcom has said not to put any adhesive over the transmitter but I can?t see how that could possibly interfere with connectivity.

I have never wanted to try to put anything on top of my Dexcom sensor because, ya know, why make more potential trouble. <grin.> 
But no way could I use it with my pods. They are big enough and tall enough that it would require a big piece of Tegaderm and I guarantee that would be a mess on a skinny arm. 
I still alwways put my Dexcom sensor on my belly. It sticks well there, is very easy to put on and leaves my arms for, well, pods.

I am not able to do it either on the back of the arm.
Jim doesn't want to help me out with it, so all is up to me.
He is interested in how I do it, but helping won't happen with him.
Now if he had to wear the thing, it would be up to me to put it on him.
Loll.

Dianna, I use the Omnipod insulin pump. It's technically called a patch pump, but it has a remote that runs it and there's no tubing. The pod is a pretty big rectangular plastic thing which you fill with up to 200 units of insulin. On the back of it is sticky tape. You peel off the backing and stick it to your body. You then use the remote to tell it to insert the cannula. From then on, you control the pump with its remote and you have no tubing to worry about. You change the pod every two or three days, just like you would any other pump's cannula. 
Does that help?
Veronica

Wow then you can run the pump by yourself?
When did the pump come out for you.
You still have to do the shots, or does the pump help with insulin?
I am ecited for you.
How do you make sure you don't get to much at a time?
Do share about this pump?
Thanks
Dar

Yes that is my question as well.
Sure would cut back on all of the shots you take all of the time.
I would be interested.
I saved the message.

Gary,

As a totally blind person who used an insulin pump for nearly 20 years, I
never gave myself a wrong insulin dose despite current pumps having no
nonvisual interface. Every pump on the market has fail-safes built in for
any user, which often works well for nonvisual use. As we all know, the
problem right now with pumps is that in order to access any function, you
have to unlock the screen now, and there's really no way to do this
nonvisually since it's not always the same part of the screen you tap to
unlock. But in terms of misdosing, personally, was not an issue.

I've also been a totally blind pump user for almost 23 years now and never
gave myself the wrong dose.  I've used four different makes and models of
pumps now, and all have a way to make sure you are giving yourself the
correct dose.  Of course, one does need to pay attention to the dosage
confirmation before pressing the "Go" button!  

				Jamie

How long did it take you to unlock the screen,
As well as would it work with the I phone?
Our screen locks after each setting?

I hope some day I can get on a pump where I wouldn't have to take shots 
three times a day.
I have to say though I love yelling at my dexcom number.
I did that for siri.
Just wanted to be differe, and I have fun with everything.
Use my fingers for guitar.

No, with current models, I cannot unlock the screen. For those of us who do
things nonvisually, our only pump options are the Medtronic 530G, which is
no longer under warranty, or the Omnipod.

How long did it take you to unlock the screen, As well as would it work with
the I phone?
Our screen locks after each setting?

Every blind diabetic I know who uses pumps nonvisually has a different experience. Some are more comfortable doing certain things without sighted assistance than others.

For me, with the Medtronic 530G, which is no longer under warranty, I can deliver boluses on my own, change reservoirs and tubing without assistance along with battery changes.

The 530G does not have a CGM, but my understanding is that Medtronic CGMs are not as reliable or good as Dexcom or Libre.

I do need help adjusting basal rates. I can fill a cartridge on my own in a pinch, but I'm more comfortable having someone do this, as I find the Medtronic reservoirs tricky to fill without getting air bubbles in.

I can, however, switch temporary basals on my own.

Again, the 530G does not have the lock feature. As far as I know, all subsequent pumps Medtronic now makes have this lock function, and I've yet to meet a blind person who can unlock it without sighted assistance, or obviously if you're low vision.

The 530G is no longer available since it's not under warranty, unless something has changed with this. The only other pump on the market that blind people are using nonvisually without a lot of sighted assistance is the Omnipod, which Veronica can speak more on.

Jamie,
What brand of insulin pump are you currently using? Is it linked to a CGM? Do you need any sighted assistance to fill with insulin, adjust basal rates, etc.?

I was diagnosed at age 11.. they said it probably started age 5. I am 83. Still have enough vision to see with magnifying glass. My son can help when needed. I have had a pump since they became user friendly many years ago. Someone totally blind in our group still uses her pump? that amazes me.  My meter puts glucose results in pump. I put in amount of carbs. Pump does the rest! Hope that is clear enough! So grateful to Banting and Best for  discovering insulin!

The pod is a pretty big rectangular plastic thing which you fill with up to 200 units of insulin. On the back of it is sticky tape. You peel off the backing and stick it to your body. You then use the remote to tell it to insert the cannula. From then on, you control the pump with its remote and you have no tubing to worry about. You change the pod every two or three days, just like you would any other pump's cannula.

I have had a pump since they became user friendly many years ago. Someone totally blind in our group still uses her pump? that amazes me.  My meter puts glucose results in pump. I put in amount of carbs. Pump does the rest! Hope that is clear enough! So grateful to Banting and Best for  discovering insulin!

Yes, I run this pump by myself. But let's be very clear here. I've done a lot of work-arounds to make it happen. When you wear any pump, it has a cannula that goes into your body and when you give the pump a command, it then delivers the insulin. You change the cannula every couple of days. With any pump you have a cartridge that you fill with insulin. When it runs out or times out, you must refill it. I along with my husband made a little gadget that helps me measure out the insulin as I'm filling the cartridge. The pump, no pump talks, has a lot to say on its screens.  I use the Seeing AI app on my phone to tell me what screen I'm on and what's happening. Along with many others, I'm doing all I can behind the sceens to help get companies to make pumps fully accessible. But for everyone using a pump, there is and will always be a learning curve. It took me quite awhile to get comfortable getting the pods landing exactly where I wanted them on my arm without wrinkling the tape. So yes, pumps do replace injections and as long as the interface isn't touch screen, like the newest ones are, we can figure most things out. 
And now many pumps are including the Dexcom so that the Dexcom sends readings directly to the pump and then the pump responds appropriately. Right there is the reason we need full access to the new technology. Oh how I'm looking forward to a better night's sleep. <grin>
Hope this helps.

Wow then you can run the pump by yourself?
When did the pump come out for you.
You still have to do the shots, or does the pump help with insulin?
I am ecited for you.
How do you make sure you don't get to much at a time?
Do share about this pump?
Thanks

You know, reading all of these message, it just hit me. On Sunday, it will be 30 years that I've been using insulin pumps. I too have never given a wrong dose of insulin. The Omnipod doesn't have the audio bolus and repeat back to me like all of the older pumps did and even there, it's never happened. One day I got stupid and couldn't remember whether or not I'd taken my insulin though. That was a long time ago and I just had to guess at what I did. Ummm, guessed wrong. <grin> 
I've been using pumps for so long that I'm kind of terrified of not having one on. Sometimes I long to have nothing constantly in my body though. But everything has its ups and downs.
As for unlocking the screen, it takes mere seconds if you know what keys to press. It's a little like the phone in that you first hold down a key and guess when to let go. But then you press another key and it's not always the same one. I've figured out which keys to hit on the Omnipod to gat past that one, but have to pay attention to see if I've gotten step one accomplished. If I haven't, nothing happens. And yes, been there, done that, got the teashirt.

I was diagnosed at age 11.. they said it probably started age 5. I am 83. Still have enough vision to see with magnifying glass. My son can help when needed. I have had a pump since they became user friendly many years ago. Someone totally blind in our group still uses her pump? that amazes me.  My meter puts glucose results in pump. I put in amount of carbs. Pump does the rest! Hope that is clear enough! So grateful to Banting and Best for  discovering insulin!

I just saw my endocrinologist on Tuesday and he said that just within the last week or two this insulin was approved by FDA for use and insulin pumps. For me this means that I can return to running my insulin through my Medicare part B where with my Medicare supplement I get my insulin for zero dollars. This last year I have had to run it through my part D coverage which had high copayments. This ultra rapid acting insulin is still working really great for me. Because it works so rapidly it generally prevents spikes after meals and brings a high blood sugar down in 1/3 to 1/2 the time that it did with nova log.
My doctor did not tell me about this insulin no doubt because the control of my diabetes has been quite good ever since CGM?s but I asked him about it and he gave me a vile to try. Even though the numbers look good on paper to a doctor the roller coaster of blood sugars are bothersome and I find I feel better both physically and mentally when there?s less fluctuation.  my endocrinologist is very good and totally up-to-date on everything but as patient I feel I need to stay up-to-date on all options out there to advocate for what I feel I need. He is always agreeable to things I want to try.

Hi Patricia,

     Thanks for sharing, this sounds like great news for you.  I have a
question.  Does this insulin only work through a pump, or are there other
ways for it to be administered?  I have a young friend who gets very high
sugars.  She doesn't currently have a pump, but something that is rapid
sounds like it could make her management easier.  Thanks so much.
Warmly,
Doula

This insulin came out in July 2020 and lots of people use it as an injection. I have vials of this insulin. I believe it also has a pen version.

I have a six year old Minimed 723 pump which also is no longer made but the screen does not lock so no problem there. It has two ways to take a bolus either by counting the button presses or using the up arrow which makes a sound and vibration for each 1/10 unit of insulin that you are trying to take and then counts these back to you before you activate.    I use the Dexcom CGM so there?s no communication between the sensor and the pump. There are none of the new automated features that I can take advantage of so I?m using this pump pretty much the same way I did with my first one in 1997. It?s all the other advancements and technologies that have enabled me to get much better control of my diabetes over the years.
It sounds like a lot of us are holding onto our very old pumps hoping that soon there will be ones that are accessible.  Anyway, that?s what I am doing at this point.

I am taking it it is in a prefilled pen as we speak. Yes that is what I use 
as my rapid acting insulin throughout the day. Yes you can get it in a 
pre-filt-in or in a while you can put into an insulin pump. Hope that helps 
you out.

Its in a prefilled pen  in either 100 or 200 pen form, that is how I got informed about  it from my endo who is on the cutting edge of research when it comes to sstuff as it  relates to type 2 diabetes.

This insulin came out in July 2020 and lots of people use it as an injection. I have vials of this insulin. I believe it also has a pen version.

Hi Patricia,

     Thanks for sharing, this sounds like great news for you.  I have a question.  Does this insulin only work through a pump, or are there other ways for it to be administered?  I have a young friend who gets very high sugars.  She doesn't currently have a pump, but something that is rapid sounds like it could make her management easier.  Thanks so much.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Semglee insulin,
 a less expensive substitute for Lantus insulin
Message-ID: <CA6C7EE9-DF2D-4994-91B2-F645BCFB4A66@comcast.net>

Another new insulin. I also talked with my endocrinologist about a cost effective way of keeping a long acting insulin on hand in the event my insulin pump should fail which is happened to me four or five times over the years of having pumps. Always need to have a back up plan because rapid acting insulin alone cannot be used to adequately manage type one diabetes. I had always kept Lantus insulin on hand in case of those emergencies but with my current insurance is very expensive especially when like glucagon you may never need to use it. He told me about two other insulins that apparently are pretty much identical to Lantus And told me to check out the pricing as he thought they would be less expensive. I checked with the pharmacy and it is not a covered medication with my insurance but the cost of one prefilled 300 unit pen is only around $36 retail price which is acceptable.   The name of the insulin is Semglee and the other one he told me to check isBasaglar.
These insulins are all a once a day injection although some people find it works better to take half in the morning and half at night. Thought this might be of interest to both type 1 and type two people who are paying high copayments for their long acting insulin?s.
It is certainly a challenge these days to work around the high cost of insulin and the varying coverage between different insurance plans.

Hi Dexcom G6 users,

I just got a notice on my Iphone 10 running most recent IOS (not the new ios 15 that has yet to come out). The Dexcom G6 notification reads as follows & I?m not sure what this means. Has any one else gotten it and what exactly does it imply?

Here is exactly what is showing on my phone:

?NOTICE
Apple will release IOS 15 in Septemberwith a new scheduled summary feature. If turned on, this feature delays notifications from apps you choose to add to the summary. To avoid missing notifications from the G6 app, 
* Do not add Dexcom G6 to scheduled summary

* Or do not use scheduled summary
for more information about recommended phone settings, tap more information below.
Continue to app button?


I did tap on the more info button which launched safari and apparently Dexcom G6 will need to be added or set to the always allow setting on the phone. Some of this was displayed as screen image so I could not determine exactly what needs to be done so the phone will continue working with Dexcom.

I, too, did receive the same notice.

If someone could call Dexcom and speak to tech support and get an explanation and post to the list it will help.

I just got a notice on my Iphone 10 running most recent IOS (not the new ios 15 that has yet to come out). The Dexcom G6 notification reads as follows & I?m not sure what this means. Has any one else gotten it and what exactly does it imply?

Here is exactly what is showing on my phone:

?NOTICE
Apple will release IOS 15 in Septemberwith a new scheduled summary feature. If turned on, this feature delays notifications from apps you choose to add to the summary. To avoid missing notifications from the G6 app, 
* Do not add Dexcom G6 to scheduled summary

* Or do not use scheduled summary
for more information about recommended phone settings, tap more information below.
Continue to app button?


I did tap on the more info button which launched safari and apparently Dexcom G6 will need to be added or set to the always allow setting on the phone. Some of this was displayed as screen image so I could not determine exactly what needs to be done so the phone will continue working with Dexcom.

Eileen

Hey gang,

Just got off with a tech-support guy from Dexcom. He told me that the best thing to do for the iOS 15 is:

1. Go into settings and turn off your automatic updates.

2. Unfortunately, this is a notice from Apple. I thought that it was from Dexcom. The guy told me that he got his on his iPhone one day last week. So, he said, we need to get on the Dexcom website and find the com pat ability section. He says there is a form there that we can fill out. But, they?re in the compatibility section, we can find out when the new Dexcom updates will catch up to the iOS 15. When it does, we can turn the automatic updates on and download the iOS 15 so that it?s caught up.  But he actually recommends leaving the automatic updates turned off.

FYI, in my experience, with both JAWS and Voiceover, the Dexcom forms have not been accessible.

Hello,
I too got this notification when opening up the app today. I don?t think it is anything to worry about. There is a feature coming out in the next iOS that lets you delay your notifications until certain times. For example you could say I don?t want to see any of my notifications till 5PM on workdays. If you do that with the dexcom app you might miss low or high notifications. I also believe there will be a way to exclude apps if you choose to use this feature. Also if you don?t use the feature everything should work as normal.

I would say just go in to settings and make sure everything Dexcom is turned on and go in to screen time and make sure all delay apps are off.

Thanks Greg & all for the responses. I?ve always just gone ahead and updated my phone and have never had issues with Dexcom. This notice was a bit different from the usual Dexcom non-specific message about the app possibly not working correctly so it got my attention. I suspect that I more than likely will move forward when the next IOS update comes out and deal with any consequences. 

I will check my settings before updating and keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks.

Eileen

Hello,
I too got this notification when opening up the app today. I don?t think it is anything to worry about. There is a feature coming out in the next iOS that lets you delay your notifications until certain times. For example you could say I don?t want to see any of my notifications till 5PM on workdays. If you do that with the dexcom app you might miss low or high notifications. I also believe there will be a way to exclude apps if you choose to use this feature. Also if you don?t use the feature everything should work as normal.

So, he said, we need to get on the Dexcom website and find the com pat ability section. He says there is a form there that we can fill out. But, they?re in the compatibility section, we can find out when the new Dexcom updates will catch up to the iOS 15. When it does, we can turn the automatic updates on and download the iOS 15 so that it?s caught up.  But he actually recommends leaving the automatic updates turned off.

I have the apple help off.
Never turned it on so probably that is the reason why I didn't get that

> Dianna, I use the Omnipod insulin pump. It's technically called a patch pump, but it has a remote that runs it and there's no tubing. The pod is a pretty big rectangular plastic thing which you fill with up to 200 units of insulin. On the back of it is sticky tape. You peel off the backing and stick it to your body. You then use the remote to tell it to insert the cannula. From then on, you control the pump with its remote and you have no tubing to worry about. You change the pod every two or three days, just like you would any other pump's cannula.

> The 530G is no longer available since it's not under warranty, unless something has changed with this. The only other pump on the market that blind people are using nonvisually without a lot of sighted assistance is the Omnipod, which Veronica can speak more on.

I have had a pump since they became user friendly many years ago. Someone totally blind in our group still uses her pump? that amazes me.  My meter puts glucose results in pump. I put in amount of carbs. Pump does the rest! Hope that is clear enough! So grateful to Banting and Best for  discovering insulin!

> Dianna, I use the Omnipod insulin pump. It's technically called a patch pump, but it has a remote that runs it and there's no tubing. The pod is a pretty big rectangular plastic thing which you fill with up to 200 units of insulin. On the back of it is sticky tape. You peel off the backing and stick it to your body. You then use the remote to tell it to insert the cannula. From then on, you control the pump with its remote and you have no tubing to worry about. You change the pod every two or three days, just like you would any other pump's cannula.

I have had a pump since they became user friendly many years ago. Someone totally blind in our group still uses her pump? that amazes me.  My meter puts glucose results in pump. I put in amount of carbs. Pump does the rest! Hope that is clear enough! So grateful to Banting and Best for  discovering insulin!

Wow! I'm going to have a chat with my endocrinologist about this in October. Sounds like a good thing, for sure.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Lyumjev just approved by FDA for use in insulin pumps

I just saw my endocrinologist on Tuesday and he said that just within the last week or two this insulin was approved by FDA for use and insulin pumps. For me this means that I can return to running my insulin through my Medicare part B where with my Medicare supplement I get my insulin for zero dollars. This last year I have had to run it through my part D coverage which had high copayments. This ultra rapid acting insulin is still working really great for me. Because it works so rapidly it generally prevents spikes after meals and brings a high blood sugar down in 1/3 to 1/2 the time that it did with nova log.
My doctor did not tell me about this insulin no doubt because the control of my diabetes has been quite good ever since CGM?s but I asked him about it and he gave me a vile to try. Even though the numbers look good on paper to a doctor the roller coaster of blood sugars are bothersome and I find I feel better both physically and mentally when there?s less fluctuation.  my endocrinologist is very good and totally up-to-date on everything but as patient I feel I need to stay up-to-date on all options out there to advocate for what I feel I need. He is always agreeable to things I want to try.
Thanks to everyone on this list for sharing all your questions and tips as there is always more to learn about.

I've gotten this notice several times over the past week. I am with you, Greg. Dar, this is a feature that we don't have yet. It's an Apple general feature, not a health one. I plan to just not turn the feature on anyway.

Yes, veronica, its not easy at all . They put an alphebet of letters and call it a product.i don?t know who is in the  offices of these big companies coming up with these funky catch or hard to  announce names.i can now imagine the marketing and advertising campaign for these  new diabetic and other  medications.

Ok that makes total sense. I don?t know . but I will be just like some of you  looking out for that and not using it. Returning back to I os only for health related matters as  my primary device is android.  In Android we don?t have  these weird and crazy ways of doing things.

Yes verenoic ifyou have highs it will correct or bbring the high down within 45 to an hour and you can take it before or after a meal. I don?t know how  this works but that is one good thing that my endo was telling me about when he put me on it last  year in august. Its been exactly 1 year as  I just took a look through my records for that fast rapid acting insulin.

Wow! I'm going to have a chat with my endocrinologist about this in October. Sounds like a good thing, for sure.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Lyumjev just approved by FDA for use in insulin pumps

I just saw my endocrinologist on Tuesday and he said that just within the last week or two this insulin was approved by FDA for use and insulin pumps. For me this means that I can return to running my insulin through my Medicare part B where with my Medicare supplement I get my insulin for zero dollars. This last year I have had to run it through my part D coverage which had high copayments. This ultra rapid acting insulin is still working really great for me. Because it works so rapidly it generally prevents spikes after meals and brings a high blood sugar down in 1/3 to 1/2 the time that it did with nova log.
My doctor did not tell me about this insulin no doubt because the control of my diabetes has been quite good ever since CGM?s but I asked him about it and he gave me a vile to try. Even though the numbers look good on paper to a doctor the roller coaster of blood sugars are bothersome and I find I feel better both physically and mentally when there?s less fluctuation.  my endocrinologist is very good and totally up-to-date on everything but as patient I feel I need to stay up-to-date on all options out there to advocate for what I feel I need. He is always agreeable to things I want to try.
Thanks to everyone on this list for sharing all your questions and tips as there is always more to learn about.
Patricia

I mean... guys... it's a matter of adjusting something in your settings. And in all reality, it's likely not going to impact anything at all.

Ok that makes total sense. I don?t know . but I will be just like some of you  looking out for that and not using it. Returning back to I os only for health related matters as  my primary device is android.  In Android we don?t have  these weird and crazy ways of doing things.

I've gotten this notice several times over the past week. I am with you, Greg. Dar, this is a feature that we don't have yet. It's an Apple general feature, not a health one. I plan to just not turn the feature on anyway.

Sometimes I still get very stubborn highs and have to do repeated corrections to bring them down which can sometimes still take several hours. This is most often the highs that occur after a prolonged low especially if I over treated with food. I probably need to treat this with a higher correction than usual but get a little scared when doing that because I do not want to cause another low. It?s probably safer to be a little conservative and have a higher blood sugar a little longer which long term is certainly not going to do any damage. Another thing I like about it is when I?m eating out and the carbohydrate content is a bit uncertain and the food higher in fat I sometimes don?t estimate right and the sugar goes a little high but again can bring it down a lot quicker then with NovoLog. Also the formally prolonged highs as a result of a high fat meal can be corrected more quickly. One thing you have to be careful of  because this insulin starts working in 12 to 17 minutes you don?t want to let anyone or something like a phone call delay your meal once you?ve taken your insulin. I share this from personal experience!
I did not have to adjust my basal rate or my insulin to carb ratio or my correction factor when changing insulins.
If anyone else on this list tries it, please let us know how it works for you.

Patricia, I am using it in the prefilled pen. I have been using it for a year now. I can say that this is a really wonderful insulin for type 2 diabetics as well as type 1.  Yes I always do the right amount of calculations before giving myself insulin and I do correct if I do see my highs go up above 170 within  2 or 3 hours of eating.

This is crazy,
even my doctor doesn't understand.
In the fall and threw the winter months, I just go outside, and my 
sugars will drop.
He said he hadn't seen this before.
I crack up.
We have to adjust that it doesn't go to low.

Certain climates and elevations can impact BGs. I don't drop as dramatically as you, but I do run lower if outside in super cold temps. When I was diagnosed as a kid, my parents were told to be careful when I was in warm temps, because it could effect my BGs. Although, I've never noticed an issue in the heat.

This is crazy,
even my doctor doesn't understand.
In the fall and threw the winter months, I just go outside, and my sugars will drop.
He said he hadn't seen this before.
I crack up.
We have to adjust that it doesn't go to low.

When I am somewhere hot and I?m not going in and out of air-conditioning but just living in the warmer weather my insulin absorbs much faster and I do tend to go low.

Hi, all.


I'm going to have a procedure which requires me to be on a clear liquid 
diet for just over 24 hours.? The surgeon's office gave me a list of 
juices-- white grape, apple, and orange and lemon with no pulp. ? but 
that's about it.? I also can't have anything red, green, or purple, so 
that leaves out most Jell-O.? I have several pills I regularly take and 
having a mostly full stomach eliminates stomach upset, etc.? I'm 
wondering what I should do to keep my sugar under control?? Yes, it's 
only a day, but the second day is the procedure, so I won't be eating or 
drinking anything then, either.


Thanks for the ideas.


Lisa

Sounds like the diet for a colonoscopy. I would recommend having juice or soda for the period you must prepare for the procedure and check your sugars more often than usual. Did they recommend cutting your insulin in any way or other diabetic meds? Even though your getting carbs (sugars) from the clear liquids you might find yourself running low since the high sugars don?t sustain for the length that solid foods with proteins & fats do.

Due to my age, length of time as type 1, and sensitivity to insulin, my doctor wants me to run higher than most and the new insulin is too fast for me. Anyone else like that? Diana

diabetic.? And yep, that's it, plus they're doing an endoscopy at the 
same time.? Glad I'll be in lalala land. <grin>

When I did my prep, I used sugar-free Jell-O and chicken broth for my main meals and drank Apple juice.  I can?t remember if ice tea was allowed, but I think I remember using peach tea to mix the MiraLAX in. Like Eileenmentioned, you will need to check your blood sugars often unless you use a Dexcom. Thanks for the reminder that I am due for a five year check up colonoscopy! Fun stuff!

You might want to check with your endocrinologist/primary care doctor about any necessary adjustments in your medication especially diabetes medication. Surgeons office generally don?t understand diabetes and won?t offer good advice on this issue. My endocrinologist always has me reduce my basal insulin by 35 to 50% prior to procedures requiring me to Crotale or change my eating. It is safer to let the blood sugar run a little higher during this time rather than risking hypoglycemic episodes.

I did the chicken broth
I also watched my numbers.
If I was going under one hundred, then I stopped all the drinking and such.
It worked and all was good.

Hi Lisa,

     They should tell you what meds you can and can't take before the
procedure.  For instance, when i've done a colonoscopy, they've told me how
to take my insulin.  Gatorade is another clear liquid you should be able to
have.  It is possible to get gatorade and jello that don't have those
colors.  But you might need a diligent shopper assistant, or someone who
you trust will really look for you.  I know there is blue Gatorade and
Jello.  Hope this helps, and hope your procedure goes well.
Warmly,
Doula

My sugars do seem to be affected by the amount of light I get. I definitely have winter and summer adjustments. Well, what passes for winter here in California. <grin.> 
They aren't drastically different but boy, responding to them sure makes my life easier.

This is crazy,
even my doctor doesn't understand.
In the fall and threw the winter months, I just go outside, and my 
sugars will drop.
He said he hadn't seen this before.
I crack up.
We have to adjust that it doesn't go to low.

I just spoke with a customer service person at the Eli Lilly company who manufactures Lyumjev to see if they could tell me if the recent FDA approval applies to use an all insulin pumps. She told me that it had been tested in the Minimed pumps starting with the 530 through the 670 models and the Accu Chek pump which I am not very familiar with. I guess this could affect insurance coverage if they really ask those specific questions.

Another thing I like about it is when I?m eating out and the carbohydrate content is a bit uncertain and the food higher in fat I sometimes don?t estimate right and the sugar goes a little high but again can bring it down a lot quicker then with NovoLog. Also the formally prolonged highs as a result of a high fat meal can be corrected more quickly. One thing you have to be careful of  because this insulin starts working in 12 to 17 minutes you don?t want to let anyone or something like a phone call delay your meal once you?ve taken your insulin. I share this from personal experience!

Patricia, I have absolutely no idea what the Accu Chek pump could be. Wow! I thought they'd gotten out of the business. I did see a note that it was approved for use in the Omnipod though. I'll double-check again. Wow!

Also the formally prolonged highs as a result of a high fat meal can be corrected more quickly. One thing you have to be careful of  because this insulin starts working in 12 to 17 minutes you don?t want to let anyone or something like a phone call delay your meal once you?ve taken your insulin. I share this from personal experience!

I wish I could say that Bridgit.  When I am in extreme heat,
especially, for me, the bottom falls out.  My body reacts to the
extreme heat.  If I didn't know better, I would swear my pancreas had
hyperacusis.  When my husband and I went to Thailand to get our
daughter, It was so bad that I had to cut my novolog entirely by the
end of the trip because I was launching into lows day and night.
Sometimes within minutes.  Of course, in Thailand, it's about 115
degrees nearly every  day because of how close they are to the
Equator.  My biggest fear there was losing consciousness and a whole
busload of folks who would be trying to figure out what was wrong with
me and of course, none of us would understand each other.  I wouldn't
have a chance!!!

Patricia, I sometimes do an ?overkill? with stubborn  hs lows.  Would rather sleep with it to high than risk  the lows. I never bolus until I am ready to eat?have learned through experience that I cannot risk delays! Diana

I guess this could affect insurance coverage if they really ask those specific questions.

Lyunjev is a rapid acting insulin. It can be good for insulin-dependent
diabetics that experience a lot of consistent fluctuating BGs. However, if
you have gastroparesis, especially problematic gastroparesis, it's not
recommended.

It's available in vial and pen form and was recently approved for use in
insulin pumps.

Lyumjev came on the market in July 2020 and is actually classified as an ultra rapid acting insulin. It starts working as quickly as 12 minutes and peaks at just under one hour.  I have found it to be really great at preventing after meal spikes and correcting unwanted highs more quickly.

I haven?t found anything on the Internet about a currently available I could check pump so I don?t know what the nurse at Eli Lily was exactly talking about.

I guess this could affect insurance coverage if they really ask those specific questions.

Patricia is write about.i was given the first  prefilled pen sample in august  2020 by my endo who was part of those trials and I have been using it now  for a good year . Its  the only one that  is a fast rapid acting injectable insulin that  works  of usage . the  other one is affrezza which is inhalable insulin that one works a bit quicker then lyunjev .   but to get the affrezza,  inhalable insulin , you have to go through a test to make sure your lung are able oor to meet he capacity required for the affreezza requirements.

 Insulin - Taking Control Of Your Diabetes

I just read the below article in the September newsletter from TCOYD.org.  This stands for take control of your diabetes and was started by an endocrinologist at the University of California in San Diego who has had type one diabetes since childhood. Their mission is to educate all people with diabetes so they can better manage the disease. Their website has many many educational and entertaining videos and even though I feel pretty knowledgeable about diabetes I always pick up some new information. I encourage you to check out their website and perhaps subscribe to get their newsletter. Thought those with you on Medicare might be interested in this particular article. Apparently a small number of part D prescription drug providers participated and this maximum $35 per month insulin program for 2021 and many more will be participating for 2022. The list of insulin?s that are going to be included in the programs includes most all that I am aware of.

Disetronic wasn?t sold to Medtronic. They just got out of the business. Animas sold their customers to Medtronic, not me. <grin> Omnipod is not related to anybody else either. The company that makes it is Insulet. Accu Chek is out of the business.

That?s what I?ve been told.

?Yes, This would be awesome, So If I have my information correct years ago, Acu Check sold only their pumps, the Dystronic pumps to Medtronic. 
The Dystronics were such wonderful pumps for the blind. 

Did you say they are related with the Omni-pod? 
Thanks,

Patricia, I sometimes do an "overkill" with stubborn hs lows. Would rather sleep with it to high than risk the lows. I never bolus until I am ready to eat...have learned through experience that I cannot risk delays! Diana

I guess this could affect insurance coverage if they really ask those specific questions.

This is most often the highs that occur after a prolonged low especially if I over treated with food. I probably need to treat this with a higher correction than usual but get a little scared when doing that because I do not want to cause another low. It's probably safer to be a little conservative and have a higher blood sugar a little longer which long term is certainly not going to do any damage. Another thing I like about it is when I'm eating out and the carbohydrate content is a bit uncertain and the food higher in fat I sometimes don't estimate right and the sugar goes a little high but again can bring it down a lot quicker then with NovoLog. Also the formally prolonged highs as a result of a high fat meal can be corrected more quickly. One thing you have to be careful of because this insulin starts working in 12 to 17 minutes you don't want to let anyone or something like a phone call delay your meal once you've taken your insulin. I share this from personal experience!

For me this means that I can return to running my insulin through my Medicare part B where with my Medicare supplement I get my insulin for zero dollars. This last year I have had to run it through my part D coverage which had high copayments. This ultra rapid acting insulin is still working really great for me.

Do keep us posted.

Hi Gary,

I have occasionally had bruising when using the Freestyle Libre, but my 
sense is that this has more to do with the application than it does the 
removal.  I try and have a couple of places on each arm when I apply it, so 
that the area in question gets more than a two week break.

I get itching/mild soreness when the censor is on when it bruises, and 
don?t when it doesn?t.

I don?t pull it straight up to remove it though, I peel it off. It's a soft 
needle so I find this method works best.

Cheers,

Ed

Ed, I do the same I tend to place in different sections of my arms rotating from one arm to the next .also you can place it on other places of  the body as well. I know that  they dont tell you this but there is a you tuber on youtube who has been a long term user of libre senssors and he has figured out the  best places to  place libre senssors  as well.

Pull out the sensor gently, then clean with a alcohol swab and it wont happen at all then take a good warm water wash with a good boddy wash and things  will be back to normal in a few days .

Really,
I was told you couldn't wear it on your tummy at all.
Just the arms.
I got tired of folks pushing it off, and I would have to start over.

I have seen that, but doesn't he also say that if you use different places, there are varying error factor numbers you have to use? Stated differently, doesn't accuracy depend on placement where they tell you?

And for women I can't see wearing it on the chest; and on the thigh, every time I exercise I would pull it off. Dar, they do have bands you can put around the sensor to protect it. I have one and use it. I also don't let people grab my arm.

I really hate that when someone grabs my arm without asking and assuming they are doing their good deed for the day and helping me navigate something.

I've never looked for bands, I use the Fixic adhesive covers.  I'll have to take a look.

Take care,  
Tony

Has anyone transitioned to the Libre 2? I am told it will work with the
iPhone, but I have not yet made the switch.

What I suggest you do is do a sample test run with libre 2 with I phone
libre 2 app and see how that  goes and if it works then transition ove to
the libre 2  in future months of your libre sensor cycle .   what I was told
by some one testing libre 3 , is the  libre 2 and the libre 3 use the same
apps so it wont be that hard to get libre 3 approved once that  tgoes
through the clinical trial scycles.

It will sometimes depend on your doctors recommendation as they will have to
assist in filing insurance with either Medicare or your primary health
insurance. It could also depend on if they have access to seeing your
readings via the web from their computer.

I will be moving around in the house or anywhere where checking my 
numbers I am told not connected.
Jim says it is a blue tooth matter.
I have spoken with folks from dexcom where we go to try it again and it 
gives me a number.
Makes a story teller from me loll.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
I don't change anything out when it goes back and forth all of the time.

It really depends on what your insurance will cover. I would say think about
what you want the system to tell you and that will also help you decide.
Good luck.

The most common reason I used to see this message was the old transmitter still being listed in my phone?s blue tooth settings. I have also noticed that sometimes just turning the phone to face another direction fixed a problem. The other question I would have would be, where are you placing your sensor? I still just place mine on my belly, as Dexcom recommends. Obviously, I don?t know for sure, but I wonder if placement on an arm could make the blue tooth fussy. Just thinking out loud here. I can?t imagine what Dexcom could do to have any affect on how blue tooth on your device works. They can check your sensor?s serial number or your transmitter serial number, that I do know. But just in case this could be part of the problem, check your blue tooth settings, make sure you know the last few digits of your current transmitter serial number and kick that old one out if it?s still there.

?It honestly makes me think Dexcom can talk with the unit via tandom on their side. I say this because once I called them regarding the same issue, and then after they looked at my serial numbers, it started reading just fine. 
Not for sure what goes on on their side, but I wouldn't doubt they would be able to talk with the devices via their technology. 
I just love the Dexcom, so more power to them, if this is what they are also capable of doing.
Take Care, 
Mary

I had that same problem a few months ago but now the only time I have a
connection problem is if I leave my phone at the other end of the house.

This drives me crazy.
I will be moving around in the house or anywhere where checking my numbers I
am told not connected.
Jim says it is a blue tooth matter.
I have spoken with folks from dexcom where we go to try it again and it
gives me a number.
Makes a story teller from me loll.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
I don't change anything out when it goes back and forth all of the time.
Now that we have the upgrade with the cell phone, I was hoping this would
settle down.
Just wanted to share.

Hi Amy. I would suggest that you get the free style libre2. If you have an I
phone, the ap is accessible  for this new update.  If your insurance company
will not pay for it since you are not on insulin, it is more affordable if
paying out of pocket than the Dexcom.

Warmly,
Debbie

Thast true. The libre 2 compared to the dexcom g6 will depend on your budget
and financial resources .since your not on insulin and you don't test 4
times a day that will be hard for an insurance provider  to cover.but the
out of pocket  expense for libre 2 is more affordable then the out of pocket
expense ffor dexcom g6.I have done both and for financial reasons, I would
recommend the libre 2 with the libre 2 compatible app for I phone. I would
not be surprised there  will be anandroid app in the future as they are
working on getting that approved as well through the   FDA when i inquired
to ABBott, about it , for a friend of mine who wants  to  have the libre 2
as he is on the libre 1 overseas, but is on android and does not want to
switch due to he fact   that he is more familiar with the android and
android ecosystem.

We are not talking about accessibility.we wer talking about cost  and
affordability wheer  as the libre and libre 2 have a clear advantage over
the dexcom cgm series.   I am telling you dfrom my experiences with both and
not all can afford a 3 mont h supply fo dexcom at around $800 out of pocket
compared to  libre or libre at around $300  out of pocket .   some times
theer  are even free trial samples  for libre and libre 2 as well.

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Are there any differences between the two systems  in terms of accessibility and the information that you can obtain? Thanks.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Which system to get, freestyle libre for DXCOM?

For the Freestyle Libre, there are a number of reports you can get, that your providers will have easy access to, but they are not as easily read for us because they are graphical in nature. However, you can see your daily averages, log in information about any given reading, see trends in readings. Some with the Dexcom should speak about what is available and visible to them and their providers.

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Are there any differences between the two systems  in terms of accessibility and the information that you can obtain? Thanks.

Hello All,

 

I have been vague with comments that I have made over the past year and I
hope you will understand that when the time is not right, it is better to
not say anything. However, I am now only attempting to make a simple
introduction on what many of you all are fighting for and it is on the way. 

 

Go to the website to learn of an accessible insulin pump system that will be
indicated for those blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with
their hands.

 

http://www.equitaslifetech.com <http://www.equitaslifetech.com/> 

 

I'll not go into this further on this site and their is a group that all can
be discussed to not take up this group's time or to fill mailboxes of those

Hello Rick,

I went to the site you posted and listened to the video. I have a few questions about the pump that I believe are perfectly fine to ask on this list as many here are interested in accessible pumps. For myself I?m not subscribing to yet another listserve.

Has the design of this pump been finalized and is what was used in that demo a working prototype?

Have to say the voice quality wasn?t all that great and if those are the sounds for the alarms for alerts it would turn me off if they are a said and done deal. Are they finalized or will they be changed and improved?

The menu options he went through seemed a little strange to me. For instance the carb-counting one where you enter a type of or brand of food rather than a number for the amount of grams of carbs someone might be eating. As a type 1 diabetic, have to say entering a category of food rather than an estimated value on my own leaves me feeling uncomfortable.

You should not take this as a critisism, but valid input from a potential customer. I will be very happy when an accessible good quality pump comes on the market. If you have direct contact with the developers you should give feed back from people on this list because if it works well we will all benefit from it. 

Hope to hear back from you about this pump.

Eileen

Lot of people don't want to subscribe to multiple lists. If there's
important information it needs to be talked about you listening pumps as
them being accessible. It should be talked about here. Take care.

I'm sorry, I will not be willing to discuss all over this list that is not
my authority to have so much traffic. Many will not like this. I am sorry,
this is just not something our Directors will reconsider. I am to only say I
do understand and if interested, you will hear of or about the product
through other venues.

Best,

Rick

It is accessable. I'm sorry I cannot change how the internet is dealing with
how videos are utilized. This is not streaming but there if you choose to
simply sign up with google and then you can view this which is a google doc.

I'm sorry but a Corporation with Directors making the rules, they must be
followed to offer the information not for any one individual specificly but
for all who may wish to learn about the work, the product and therefore can
view it if they so choose to.

Sorry,

Rick

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for your comments. However, the group list the Company has set up is for such questions to be answered. The Directors are the one's whom govern and I must follow their decisions. I'm sorry if you do not agree but this is how Corporations are run. Not one with the power to do as they wish but all must follow the said rules/statutes or decisions of the said Board.

The group subscribe email address previously given was not correct. my error for not putting in correctly.

In case you or others reconsider, the subscribe email address below.

equitas-group+subscribe at googlegroups.com

Thank you,

Rick

Subject: Re: [Diabetes-Talk] accessibility is on the way

Hello Rick,

I went to the site you posted and listened to the video. I have a few questions about the pump that I believe are perfectly fine to ask on this list as many here are interested in accessible pumps. For myself I?m not subscribing to yet another listserve.

Has the design of this pump been finalized and is what was used in that demo a working prototype?

Have to say the voice quality wasn?t all that great and if those are the sounds for the alarms for alerts it would turn me off if they are a said and done deal. Are they finalized or will they be changed and improved?

The menu options he went through seemed a little strange to me. For instance the carb-counting one where you enter a type of or brand of food rather than a number for the amount of grams of carbs someone might be eating. As a type 1 diabetic, have to say entering a category of food rather than an estimated value on my own leaves me feeling uncomfortable.

You should not take this as a critisism, but valid input from a potential customer. I will be very happy when an accessible good quality pump comes on the market. If you have direct contact with the developers you should give feed back from people on this list because if it works well we will all benefit from it. 

Hope to hear back from you about this pump.

Eileen

Hello All,

 

I have been vague with comments that I have made over the past year and I hope you will understand that when the time is not right, it is better to not say anything. However, I am now only attempting to make a simple introduction on what many of you all are fighting for and it is on the way. 

 

Go to the website to learn of an accessible insulin pump system that will be indicated for those blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with their hands.

 

http://www.equitaslifetech.com <http://www.equitaslifetech.com/> 

 

I'll not go into this further on this site and their is a group that all can be discussed to not take up this group's time or to fill mailboxes of those who may not be interested.

The other thing that he should do is refer the developers of this insulin pump to the Jernigan Institute and Aneil Lewis.

When the web page loads the video did not start playing automatically, you need to search for the play button and click it. That?s how I got it going.

Medical miracle? This technology has been around since the 1970s. Just takes
one to step up and do what those others refuse to do for those needing
accessible features. Yoou fight for this and when it comes out, this is how
you act? I wonder why this is necessary. Did you act this way when the
Omnipodd or the Tandem t-slim was introduced? No? Then why does this
opportunity deserve such ridicule?

My webpage didn't even give me that option. I will try it again but it acted oddly.

When the web page loads the video did not start playing automatically, you need to search for the play button and click it. That?s how I got it going.

Hello All,

 

I have been vague with comments that I have made over the past year and I
hope you will understand that when the time is not right, it is better to
not say anything. However, I am now only attempting to make a simple
introduction on what many of you all are fighting for and it is on the way. 

 

Go to the website to learn of an accessible insulin pump system that will be
indicated for those blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with
their hands.

I'll not go into this further on this site and their is a group that all can
be discussed to not take up this group's time or to fill mailboxes of those
who may not be interested.

I can't get the play button to show up consistently. I've tried twice today and it just starts downloading one giant file after another on to my computer. 
And no, this is not how corporations work. I have been in great contact with other pump companies who are more than happy to have feedback and for Heaven's sakes, if you're going to make an accessible device, you should have people who make the web site more easily accessible. Nothing wrong with having some text about the device. We discuss specific products at great length on this list and others. Hard to sell stuff and get customers if you're not allowed to talk about it, isn't it? 
Any FDA approved device also makes extensive use of focus groups during the design phase. What better place to find potential users to test the device but the existing lists. I don't know if you've submitted for the 510K clearance yet or had the FDA inspection of your factory or any of the other steps yet, but those are some of the things I need to know. 
Now, if you'd said subscribe to a list to participate in a focus group, I could see that not being on the list.
Just some thoughts and suggestions.

You obviously are not doing something. No downloading being part when the link for the demonstration video is clicked. I'll simply say you are wrong about Companies willing to talk to those as yourself. Simply, you have no need to worry if you do not wish to join the group of the Company of which is governed by the Directors of this said Company. I have nothing more to say about this.

Veronica,

I did miss some of your message. We have our focus groups utilized for all needed and continue to use our focus groups thank you.

The Company Directors will not do as each and every individual may want specifically. The option to participate in discussions within the control of the said Company is there for your choice and benefit. I'm sorry you have problems and the website is accessible. You are having issues that I am not able to understand for if you are having this issue with the video, after we changed it all in the wee hours of the night, to which I will say to fix issues you and a few others were having. On a late Friday night to make this website a bit easier for those having troubles as you. I have just again spoken to our Web person and was told that there is no downloading of anything on this site and what yhou are attempting to do, even she does not understand. She did tell me to say to have you remove this site from your history for the memory within a computer will continue as previous, until your cash is updated. Therefore, whatever you may be experiencing will hopefully go away after you clear this site from your history. Again, I just tested this link and it works. 

Please understand, this is not a product specifically for those blind. We have made it accessible and it will be indicated for those as we here. As we move forward, information will be added to the site. Remember, this is the beginning, what I have attempted to simply say that what you have been fighting for for years, we are working on it. 

I again apologize for your inability to handle this accessible site for links are there, nothing is downloaded. The links for those to view components as the controller, the pump and the infusion pad in 3-D is there for those to view who can. What text that is on the website is there with limitations, yes, this is to only introduce, this is not a user guide/manual in detail as you may want. If you want the complete explanation, call me. My number on the website and below for you to use. Tom called and when he and I discussed the website of which he had no issues, I was pleased with his compliments and excitement with all we are doing. I welcome your call and others. If I do not answer, please understand I am talking to many many people each and every day of the week. Just leave a message and I will return your call as I am soonest able.

Thank you again,

Rick

gHello,

To those who have been having a problem with the link to the video that Rick
posted to the list, I ended up having to downloading the file to my
computer. I then tried it in VLC Media Player and it played fine but only
would play through the computer speaker. I then played the file through
Windows Media Player and then it played through my USB speakers and also
through my headphones.

I used Microsoft's Edge browser to download the file once I clicked on the
video link.

Hi Milton and all,

This has been corrected as of last night, Friday late. Now, when you click
on the video link, it will automatically begin and no need to download for
this option is no longer an option. Just click and review. Your speaker
issues are what you have or are using for media to hear any audio and with
my also using media player, my office surround sound system works without
any issues. If using headphones, it is up to the user to go into their
settings and change to the headphone option if the program is not
automatically detected when the headphones are plugged in or turned on.

Thank you for the note you have sent to all nevertheless. I am in office
every day with all and if needing to contact me directly, please do. The
group chat for all regarding this system is on the contact us page and has
been corrected. The subscribe address is below.

All questions permitted answered by our Directors will be done through the

Directors whom govern the Company that make this decision. 

Thank you all,

gHello,

To those who have been having a problem with the link to the video that Rick
posted to the list, I ended up having to downloading the file to my
computer. I then tried it in VLC Media Player and it played fine but only
would play through the computer speaker. I then played the file through
Windows Media Player and then it played through my USB speakers and also
through my headphones.

I used Microsoft's Edge browser to download the file once I clicked on the
video link.

Hello All,

 

I have been vague with comments that I have made over the past year and I
hope you will understand that when the time is not right, it is better to
not say anything. However, I am now only attempting to make a simple
introduction on what many of you all are fighting for and it is on the way. 

 

Go to the website to learn of an accessible insulin pump system that will be
indicated for those blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with
their hands.

Hello again all,

I had listened to the messages of our site being either too difficult for
some and troubling for others. We had taken the site down and even had to do
coding to have what is now able to be viewed on the website, below. The 3D
image links, well there is nothing that will read a 3D Cad image but it now
opens and rotates so those who are able to view will see the components in a
3D view and rotating 360 degrees, for a complete view. The Zeus
Demonstration Video is now working so only needing to hit the enter key on
the link and the video will immediately begin and with a pause button in
case you need to get popcorn.

The website again, is below. 

http://www.equitaslifetech.com

And remember, you'll learn more from our own group chat at the following
address.

Be safe/well,

Rick
