Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] glucometer replaced
Message-ID: <5a19e314-257c-bb17-3591-d1226c72eb54@panix.com>

The freestyle lite I had threw an electronic error and that was probably
lucky.
I managed to get a prodigy voice glucometer from:
http://www.speaktomecatalog.com/individual.php?item=VOICEPR
There's a red tag sale on now and they have the lancets and test strips
too.

Hi all,
I'm pre-diabetic. I joined this list thinking I wanted to know what accessible equipment people are using so that I'll know what my options are if I need to know in the future. Well, It's very likely as later onset diabetes including needing insulin, is in my family. I could have guessed I wouldn't retain anything I read here if it wasn't immediately applicable.

I wasn't able to get my blood sugar under control following my doctor's recommendation which was just to cut out sugar and eat only whole grains. That was pretty much how I was eating already, eating very little sugar and mostly whole grain products. So,  that did nothing. she then said to eat low carb and I started to do that with very little guidance and I ended up with something close to the Keto diet but without following that diet's guidance on ratios. So, that pretty much worked. I even lost a chunk of weight which wasn't my goal but made the doctor happy.
The problem is it's costly to eat this way and I don't have the money for it. Since I practically went from all to almost nothing as far as carbs go, we came up with the idea I could add some back in, but test my blood sugar along the way so I could get more immediate feedback than waiting for my next appointment. 
so, here I am needing to know. Is there a write-up of what the current options are for a blind person for testing blood glucose? If not can someone give me a run-down? I have an iPhone which I. know is rellevant, and am on Medicare, but don't have prescription coverage, but do have a sliding scale medical center where I get anything that comes from their pharmacy at low cost. So, having no clue what I'm looking at, I know there's the machinery and then there's the strips or whatever supplies are needed, and my goal is to minimize expense, not convenience at this point, although if it becomes a long term thing, convenience will then be an issue. And if there's anything else anyone  thinks I should know, please share. Talk to me expecting that I know nothing.
Thanks for any help,
Andre

That was pretty much how I was eating already, eating very little sugar and mostly whole grain products. So,  that did nothing. she then said to eat low carb and I started to do that with very little guidance and I ended up with something close to the Keto diet but without following that diet's guidance on ratios. So, that pretty much worked. I even lost a chunk of weight which wasn't my goal but made the doctor happy.
The problem is it's costly to eat this way and I don't have the money for it. Since I practically went from all to almost nothing as far as carbs go, we came up with the idea I could add some back in, but test my blood sugar along the way so I could get more immediate feedback than waiting for my next appointment. 
so, here I am needing to know. Is there a write-up of what the current options are for a blind person for testing blood glucose? If not can someone give me a run-down? I have an iPhone which I. know is rellevant, and am on Medicare, but don't have prescription coverage, but do have a sliding scale medical center where I get anything that comes from their pharmacy at low cost. So, having no clue what I'm looking at, I know there's the machinery and then there's the strips or whatever supplies are needed, and my goal is to minimize expense, not convenience at this point, although if it becomes a long term thing, convenience will then be an issue. And if there's anything else anyone  thinks I should know, please share. Talk to me expecting that I know nothing.
Thanks for any help,
Andre

HI,

First, welcome to the list. You have come to the right place to discuss some
of your issues with managing diabetes.

You are looking for a glucometer and I suggest you get the Prodogy Voice.
After you get the meter, have your doctor refer you to a diabetes educator
to learn how to self test with this meter as it will be very helpful.

You don't mention if you are doing any kind of exercise and I suggest
starting with some form of exercise without having to spend a lot of money.
Walking is a good start. 

Being that you say you have an iPhone see if you have the Health app and
enable the app to count your steps daily. You could also do some kind of
squatting to help blood circulation to your feet as blood to your feet is
needed to help as it is the fartherist part of your body from your heart and
it is a good practice to take care of your feet.

You should inquire if your pharmacy is aware of ScripTalk labelling for your
meds if you have no vision or can barely read the print on a prescription
bottle. There are other ways to identify your meds so ScripTalk is just one
way.

Feel free to chime in with your questions and you will get answers like
this.

Take care.

Hello Andre,

With medicare, I was able to get the Dexcom G6. There is some monthly cost
but it is assessed by individual. It is a continuous glucose metter, which
allow you to check your blood sugars on your smart phone without finger
sticks. If you go this route, you will need to change your sensor every 10
days. There is a call in educational group at Dexcom that will walk you thru
the process as needed. Please contact me at the information below for more
information if desired.

There is another CGM, the Free Style Libre. I do not have this device, but I
know that there are those on the list that use it. I hope that they will
chime in to provide information.

Sincerely,
Walter Mitchell
President, Ohio Diabetes Action Network
(513) 250-2432
Walterl.mitch2 at gmail.com

Purpose:
The Diabetes Action Network Educate, Empower and Inspire blind and visually
impaired people to independently and confidently manage diabetes!

hi, I? have the prodedgy voice but I also have the clever choice monitor 
which I bought on amazon. I have better luck with clever choice my 
prodedgy voice often tells me that I don't have enough blood on the 
strip which I find annoying and therefore frustrating.

hi, I  have the prodedgy voice but I also have the clever choice monitor which I bought on amazon. I have better luck with clever choice my prodedgy voice often tells me that I don't have enough blood on the strip which I find annoying and therefore frustrating.

Does a too low hydration level contribute or effect test strip failures?
One thing I learned about hydration recently is not to drink a whole glass
of water at once but sip on it over time since drinking the whole glass
tends to send that water directly to the bladder and not effect hydration
levels.

I just have a 30 ounce jug as I call it.
I fill it up with ice then water.
I sip as well as drink
I haven't used a glass ever since I got the jug from wallmart.

Hi all, 

I have just replaced my old 6S with a new iPhone SE2022, which had IOS 16,
and one of the changes I noticed is the way VoiceOver reads my glucose level
on the main screen. 

Instead of just reading the value, it appends either the word, sign, or,
optical instrument. 

It is only a minor nuisance, but if anyone has found a way to stop it, could
you please advise me.

Under VoiceOver settings, I found, VoiceOver recognition,  and turned them
all off, but the problem remains?


With appreciation,
Paul in Australia.

Hello Paul,

This is an issue with the image description function with Voiceover. You will have to go into Voiceover settings, Voiceover Recognition and turn off the image recognition for Dexcom. This will stop it from reading out the image description on the app.

I hope this helps,

Ed Worrell

Ed,
So it looks to me like if image recognition is turned off in the voice Over settings, that image recognition will be turned off entirely for all apps and websites and not just for the Dexcom app.

Good afternoon all,

I hope that 2023 has been good to you so far. One exciting thing for
my family is that we started out this year in a new home. We are
happily still in Baltimore, just a few streets away from our previous
place. I wanted to share my new mailing address and send a reminder
about the different ways to pay division dues. We are accepting
payments via check and Zelle.
If you're mailing a check, please make it payable to the National
Federation of the Blind diabetes Action Network and mail it to:
danielle McCann
1110 William St
apt 202
Baltimore, MD 21230.
In addition to paying your dues, it's a good time to be sure that we
have your most up-to-date contact information. Please send me an email
off list with your information so that we can be sure to have correct
records. My email address is danielletmccann at gmail.com.

Is it possible to pay from a web site like most organizations? I can't write a check either. Also, you mentioned two ways to pay, one from cell phone? 
Thanks.

The other option is to turn off image recognition from the rotor. You will first have to add the image recognition to the rotor as an option, after it?s added you can now turn off the image recognition per app.

I hope this helps,

Hi Veronica,

Thanks very much for your question. You can use Zelle through your
bank as an alternative way to pay if you don't have checks. I believe
there's a Zelle app for smartphones too but I'm not familliar with how
accessible it is. I hope this is helpful.

Danielle

Message-ID: <000901d93076$aa109d30$fe31d790$@bigpond.com>


Thank you all for your help!

Following your advice, I went to the VoiceOver settings and found Voiceover Recognition, and opened that to find that Image Recognition was already turned off, and the other 2 options were also turned off.

Remembering that iPhones occasionally need an item to be switched then switched back  to obey that setting, I did that to ensure Voiceover knew I wanted Image Recognition off, but it still tries to describe  the graph, which is apparently visually to the right of the value, and so, my original problem remains. (smile)

Oh well,  as I said, it is a minor nuisance only, so I will get used to it untill Apple fixes it.

Thank you again  for your assistance,
Paul.

So it looks to me like if image recognition is turned off in the voice Over settings, that image recognition will be turned off entirely for all apps and websites and not just for the Dexcom app.

Paul,

Sometimes it helps to completely power off the phone and then restart it after 1 or 2 minutes. HTH.

Thank you all for your help!

Following your advice, I went to the VoiceOver settings and found Voiceover Recognition, and opened that to find that Image Recognition was already turned off, and the other 2 options were also turned off.

Remembering that iPhones occasionally need an item to be switched then switched back  to obey that setting, I did that to ensure Voiceover knew I wanted Image Recognition off, but it still tries to describe  the graph, which is apparently visually to the right of the value, and so, my original problem remains. (smile)

Oh well,  as I said, it is a minor nuisance only, so I will get used to it untill Apple fixes it.

Thank you again  for your assistance,
Paul.

Ed,
So it looks to me like if image recognition is turned off in the voice Over settings, that image recognition will be turned off entirely for all apps and websites and not just for the Dexcom app.

Our director of research, Lou Ann Blake, has asked that I send this along.

Columbia University's Center for Precision Medicine and Genomics, Division of Ethics, and Department of Biomedical Informatics are pleased to introduce the next event in the 'Disability Ethics, Intersectionality and AI/ML Bias Speaker Series 2022/2023?, entitled: The Intersection of Diabetes and Blindness: Lessons about Healthcare Biases,' featuring speakers Nazanin Heydarian, PhD(c) and Allyson S. Hughes, PhD.

Join us on January 26th, 2023 at 12 - 1pm EST for a critical examination of blind patients? experiences with managing diabetes and encountering bias. Blindness and diabetes are significantly interrelated. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss. Blind people have an elevated risk of developing diabetes. Little is known about mental health, diabetes distress, or how to improve diabetes management for blind and low vision people. Clinicians are often untrained on competently interacting with blind patients and are, thus, prone to using heuristics and stereotypes to guide their interactions. In this talk, we will present an evidence-based picture of experiencing diabetes and blindness, highlight the lived experience of people who are blind and are seeking healthcare, and provide lessons learned and recommendations.

You can add this event to your Calendar.

This is a hybrid event. You can attend online or in person at:

Biomedical Informatics Conference Room 20-200
Presbyterian Hospital PH-20 (20th floor)
622 W 168th Street
10032
New York, NY

For additional information about the Speaker Series, contact Maya Sabatello, LLB, PhD, Associate Professor, Center for Precision Medicine & Genomics and Division of Ethics. For more information about this project, visit: Blind/Disability and Intersectional Biases in EHR. These events are free and open to the public. The location is wheelchair accessible, and the event is captioned. If you need further accommodation, please E-mail Dr. Sabatello at ms4075 at cumc.columbia.edu at least 7 days in advance and we will do our best to accommodate.
