Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Question on the elderly visually impaired using CGM
Message-ID: <01b001d8f45c$70056540$50102fc0$@gmail.com>

Good Morning,

 

I received an email about an elderly lady that cannot use a smart phone and
cannot stick her finger and get blood to test her levels. The answer for her
is to use a CGM, but there is the problem of using a smart phone of which
she do not do. Do anyone have a solution for this lady?

 

Thanks,

Walter Mitchell

My first thought is for this person to get the Blind Shell 2 and use Be my
Eyes and the desktop monitor with the CGM. I'm not sure if Be My Eyes is
available on the Blind Shell, you may have to help her and check this out.
That would be the closest thing to self monitoring.

I will tell you, do not underestimate the ability  of the elder to learn how
to use a cell phone. My MMom is 104 years old and in the last 6 months we
have help teach her on how to text message and email, vall & face timeher
family & friends.  I use to be able ask my phone, "Dexcom G6 and with the
voice over option it would open the apt and tell me my blood sugar level.
There are a lot of things you can do on the phone by just speaking to it.

You just need to spend a little time working with the person and teach them
how.

My first thought is for this person to get the Blind Shell 2 and use Be my
Eyes and the desktop monitor with the CGM. I'm not sure if Be My Eyes is
available on the Blind Shell, you may have to help her and check this out.
That would be the closest thing to self monitoring.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Question on the elderly visually impaired using CGM

Good Morning,

 

I received an email about an elderly lady that cannot use a smart phone and
cannot stick her finger and get blood to test her levels. The answer for her
is to use a CGM, but there is the problem of using a smart phone of which
she do not do. Do anyone have a solution for this lady?

 

Thanks,

Walter Mitchell

I've tried to teach her, but she can't double tap fast enough, and when you
tell her to double tap faster, she just hits it harder and she can't tell
the difference.  Congratulations that your mom can do that at her age that's
great.

would not have to scan it to get her readings.

That would be the only reason that she would use it because she can't
operate one at all. She has an old iPhone and she just can't use it. But
also she is not diabetic, I am. I use an iPhone 13 quite successfully.
  She's almost 80 whereas I am only 72.

Hello all, I have worked with seniors on smart phone usage. If there
isn't any other health issue going on such as shaky hands they most
always are able to single tap, double tap, swipe, etc. with great
success. If not, the Iphone has a feature called voice assist which is
somewhat different but works in conjunction with voice over. The user
can speak commands such as swipe right, click on, etc. And finally, as
Debbie mentioned, a smart phone in conjunction with the Libre 3 or
perhaps the Dexcom might be the answer. Perhaps there are some people
through senior blind services in your area that can help you explore
all options?
Mark

Hi Mark, this is great news, I was not familiar with this voice assist.

Hello all, I have worked with seniors on smart phone usage. If there isn't
any other health issue going on such as shaky hands they most always are
able to single tap, double tap, swipe, etc. with great success. If not, the
Iphone has a feature called voice assist which is somewhat different but
works in conjunction with voice over. The user can speak commands such as
swipe right, click on, etc. And finally, as Debbie mentioned, a smart phone
in conjunction with the Libre 3 or perhaps the Dexcom might be the answer.
Perhaps there are some people through senior blind services in your area
that can help you explore all options?

On the Iphone 13 and maybe earlier:
go to settings,
click on accessibility,
click on voice controll.
Of course, as with technology there are numerous settings that can be
set for this feature. Also, vocabulary can be taught to the feature
and training should be done.
Good luck.

Hello friends,
See below the link to what apparently is the worlds first non-invasive CGM product being showcased in the UK this week. I did notice that the MAR is 10.4 which signifies its accuracy rating which is higher than both the Dexcom and free style libre products And therefore not quite as accurate but may turn out to be a good product for some people. As it is always the case it will take us much longer to get this approved in the United States once it becomes available in Europe and other parts of the world.

GlucoRx showcases "world's first" multi-sensor non-invasive CGM at MEDICA
14 NOVEMBER 2022 09:00
 
UK-based GlucoRx is part of the ABHI UK Pavilion at MEDICA 2022 to showcase the world?s first multi-sensor non-invasive continuous glucose monitor (CGM), heralding a new era of needle-free monitoring for people with diabetes.

Expand
CharlotteWoolrych_Photography
The GlucoRx BioXensor uses patented radio frequency technology alongside a multiple sensor approach to measure blood glucose levels every minute reliably, accurately, and non-invasively.

According to the World Health Organisation, approximately 422 million people around the globe have diabetes. Currently, many patients have to prick their finger to extract and test their blood several times a day using glucometers or apply semi-invasive devices such as continuous blood glucose monitors (CGMs).

The GlucoRx BioXensor now provides an alternative to blood glucose monitoring for the first time by measuring levels from 3 mmol/l to 30 mmol/l. When used as an early intervention to change lifestyle, the GlucoRx BioXensor can assist in preventing the onset of diabetes, or its remission, and improve quality of life with its smart alarms and remote monitoring technology.

Chris Chapman, GlucoRx chief operating officer, said: ?We are excited about this life-changing end-to-end diabetes monitoring platform of ours which can be discreetly stuck on the skin to monitor blood glucose, giving readings every minute on smart mobile applications, and look forward to showcasing our ground-breaking technology at this year?s MEDICA trade fair.

?GlucoRx BioXensor has standout accuracy owing to its multi sensor approach capturing blood glucose as well as Sp02, ECG, respiration rate, heart rate, temperature, activity, sleep, and early fall detection. The wearable device has a longer shelf-life because it is not chemical in its action.?

This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust and Cardiff University through its Cardiff Partnership Fund. Dr Heungjae Choi was funded by the S?r Cymru II Fellowship by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh government.

Following a series of successful trials on early generation prototypes which achieved MARD of 10.4% at Swansea University with Professor Stephen Luzio, the team is now said to conduct a further pivotal clinical study later this year on its smaller and improved fourth generation device before submitting CE certification.

Founded in 2011, GlucoRx is one of the UK?s leading suppliers of medical products and platforms to improve the wellbeing of all people with diabetes. The company is empowering users and their caregivers with comprehensive AI driven data ecosystem for effective diabetes control, enabling best treatment decisions to live a fulfilling life. 

GlucoRx was also the first company to roll out real-time continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to NHS patients with type 1 diabetes with 14 days use. The GlucoRx AiDEX CGM has been available on the Drug tariff since April 1, 2022.

MEDICA is taking place until 17th November 2022 and throughout the show, GlucoRx will be located on the ABHI UK Pavilion ? Hall 16 stand K48.

We will have to se how  this develops in the future.we could se this be the new  innovation area for continuous glucose devices from dexcom and abbott with better algarythms.

Not being a Medtronic pump user, does their cartridge last that long. What help is it if you still have to change the cartridge every two days? Just thinking out loud.

The reservoir is that I was using in my last Medtronic pump held 300 units of insulin. Assuming that that is the case with the newest pump as well. As I use 20 units a day that will definitely last me a week assuming that even losing 15 to 25 units in the tubing added on.  I believe they said that it is possible to change out the reservoir without changing the infusion set as priming would not be necessary and that one of the goals was to cut down on medical waste which this would accomplish. 

 However, Tandem has just recommended that I try changing my sites every two days rather than every three days because of the large amount of irritation and swelling that I get at the infusion site so this might not help me at all. I just need to figure out if I am allergic to the insulin, the material in the cannula or just what.  When I was using a Medtronic pump I sometimes went as long as five days without changing the site with no adverse effects. oh I know that?s almost like being against the pumpers law but there you have it. Do you all change your Lancet every time you prick your finger?
It will be interesting to see how this new infusion set works for people and if they encounter tissue problems or degradation of insulin being at body temperature for seven days.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Medtronic releases new seven day extended ware
 infusion set for its pumps

Hello Patricia and Veronica! The cartridge does hold 300 units, and it lasted me not quite a week depending on how many high blood sugars I had to correct. The infusion set comes with the cannula and the tubing that disconnects from it, so I always had a collection of tubing available for changing a cartridge. The cartridge change was not synonymous with the infusion set change.  I know they always sent enough cartridges to match the number of infusion sets, but my often canceled my cartridge order. I just switched to the Omni pod five system, and I have a bucket load of med Tronic cartridges or Reservoir?s as they call them leftover.

I?m not sure if I could leave an infusion set in for A week either unless they have created some thing that keeps the site from getting irritated. And I wore mine for about three days maximum before needing to change it.

Jamie,
I just change the subject line with my reply as you mentioned that you had just started Omni pod five. How are you finding the accessibility of the app and the entire system. Do you manage it entirely on your own, with sighted assistance or with limited eyesight of your own?

Hey Patricia,

I too am on the OmniPod 5. According to Insulet I was the first completely blind user on the system. I find the app to be mostly accessible. The biggest part of contention for me is dealing with the little Android quirks. You can do all of the daily functions with the pump without any issues. The biggest issue is the strangely labeled images. You can either run the Dexcom app on the Android device or on the iPhone, it doesn?t matter. I am running them both on the Android device. Both apps are accessible with Talkback.

Ed

Ed, have you updated talkback .the samsung devices  you have to  update talkback from the  galaxy store.  Other android  devices  you update from the  google playstore.  As well have you updated apps fro mboths  store on samsung deivces you have to update from both stores as sometime samsung deivce do some confusing things.but they are the popular ones  on the android  side along  side google own pixels.

Yes, but don't you still need to use Seeing AI to read some of the screens? I understand you use the Gluco app along with Dexcom. For me, too many phones, too many apps, I'm waiting for the Iphone version. I also think there might be someone in Virginia who went on the Omnipod 5 before you did, Ed. I don't know her name though.
But it's great that these options are starting to appear and we still need to not have so many work-arounds. Says she who is doing many work-arounds with the Omnipod classic. <grin>

Hey Patricia,

I too am on the OmniPod 5. According to Insulet I was the first completely blind user on the system. I find the app to be mostly accessible. The biggest part of contention for me is dealing with the little Android quirks. You can do all of the daily functions with the pump without any issues. The biggest issue is the strangely labeled images. You can either run the Dexcom app on the Android device or on the iPhone, it doesn?t matter. I am running them both on the Android device. Both apps are accessible with Talkback.

Ed

Hey Gary,

Yes, I have updated Talkback. Images are still with funny labels. I really have not noticed any difference in how things are read system wide.

If you can email me off list and I would be happy to discuss what you can about things and how they should be working.

Hey Veronica,

Yes, you have to read the pod info tab with Seeing Ai. This is mostly used to read how much insulin is left in the pod. I do this only on day 3. 

The Dexcom app is mandatory, as the OmniPod app does not send alerts, let you start a sensor, or give you the ability to see trend arrows. The Dexcom app is needed even for sighted users. 

The Glooko app is needed for your doctor to see how much insulin is being used, carb intake, etc. This is needed for sighted users as well.

The system is very accessible as it is right now. Yes, it needs improvements but it can be used quite easily by blind diabetics.

On another note, I have been 93% in range sense I have been on the OmniPod 5 system.

Ed,
Glad you are doing so well. Can you describe how you manage the process of starting a new pod and what screens you use as well as if it describes the buttons that no doubt you have to tap to work through the process?  With my tandem pump before the bolus feature became available on the app I was able to use seeing a  I to read various screens but it gave me no feedback as to how to tap on confirmation buttons such as check marks, OK, next etc. since you are using an android phone with talk back perhaps these types of buttons are read aloud to you so that you can feel secure in tapping on them.
Patricia

>> But it's great that these options are starting to appear and we still need to not have so many work-arounds. Says she who is doing many work-arounds with the Omnipod classic. <grin>

>> I too am on the OmniPod 5. According to Insulet I was the first completely blind user on the system. I find the app to be mostly accessible. The biggest part of contention for me is dealing with the little Android quirks. You can do all of the daily functions with the pump without any issues. The biggest issue is the strangely labeled images. You can either run the Dexcom app on the Android device or on the iPhone, it doesn?t matter. I am running them both on the Android device. Both apps are accessible with Talkback.

Hello Patricia,

To start a new pod: You?ll have to enter the menu in the top left corner of the app. Navigate down to the Pod option and double tap on it to open the section. When this section is opened the pod options are  At the bottom of the screen, there will be a deactivate pod option, double tap on this. Then you will hear a series of beeps from the pod and the Samsung smart phone. You?ll also have to confirm that you want to end the current session. Talkback on the Samsung phone will read the alert out loud that you can remove the pod to start a new one. Now You?ll have to add insulin to the new pod. Now start the activate pod functions. This will be the start new pod button. Then you are presented with a button labeled as left arrow, this his the back button, ignore this. Then flick right to the right arrow button, this will be the continue button, double tap on this. The pod will start priming and Talkback will read the process out loud, every step and will let you know when the pod is ready to place on your body. Once it?s in place you will press the next button and the cannula will be inserted. After that is completed, the app will ask if the cannula is inserted properly. Hit yes on this option, the dialog will now ask if you want to start automated mode. Double tap on yes, if you are using this mode. Now the pod is active and you can start to see readings from Dexcom in a few minutes after the pod connects to the Dexcom sensor.

That's quite similar to what I do with the classic, minus the connecting to Dexcom bit, of course. But I have button choices and an extra gotchya screen that can bite big time. The only difference between the pods I use and the ones for the Omnipod 5 is that mine connect through infrared and the newer ones connect through blue tooth. Otherwise the pods themselves are identical. So when the Iphone version comes out, I will not have much of a learning curve at all.
Veronica

Hello friends!  It is with a heavy heart that I share the death of my dear
friend and member of this list, Sandy Ryan.  The NFB and especially the Iowa
blind community will greatly miss Sandy and her decades of service at the
Iowa Department for the Blind.  Below is the link to her obituary that
includes a guestbook page if anyone cares to leave a comment for her family.
I've lost a dear friend, but the blind community has lost an amazing
advocate.

 

 
Jamie

You know, I just saw this on Facebook!! I am still in a state of shock. One of Sandy's greatest characteristics, in my opinion to go along with her great wisdom and dynamic credentials, was one of great humility. Sandy was an extremely humble lovely individual!! Th There was the year that Sandy and I both ran for the vice presidency. We ran for the vice president seat of Dan. She won the first vice president see but not before I had to reassure her that if she won she would never lose my friendship because, in fact,  it would make it greater and closer either way. I had nothing but a great appreciation, love, and deep respect for our dear friend Sandy! 

Warmly,
Bern

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] There's a new way to pay your DAN dues.
Message-ID: <CAApfqiRabTSamhamXRiVqDEfjvyNCWA5a+ZfuRzMA+W_YCQctg@mail.gmail.com>

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I'm writing to let you know
that there is a new way to pay dues for the Diabetes Action Network.
We are set up to take payments via Zelle. This is a mainstream system
that most banks are using in order to send electronic payments; it's
similar to PayPal or Venmo. Dues are $10 per year and to pay through
Zelle, you can use the email address nfb4114 at gmail.com when searching
for a recipient or mail checks made payable to the National Federation
of the Blind Diabetes Action Network to me at:
Danielle McCann
11 W Heath St
Baltimore, MD 21230.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Thank you,
Danielle T. McCann

Hello Less, so happy to hear that this system works well for you. We are
hoping that by  simplifying a way to pay dues will  be helpful to all. 

We invite you all if not a member already, to become a member. The DAN needs
your support, involvement, and your participation to make us a better
division for all!

Warmly,
Debbie Wunder, President, DAN
