Hi Ann,
Yes, the Contour Next One blood glucose meter works very well with the iPhone
and is very accessible. A bit of visual help might be required to get the app
and meter set up but the app is very accessible. Amazon is currently selling it
for $6.19 which includes the meter, 10 test
Also, we were supported by the American Council of the Blind and their
affiliate ACB Diabetics in Action.

Our physician is very supportive and advocated based on the fact that both
the patient and her husband are visually impaired and would have difficulty
testing using another method.
It can be done if you are a determined self advocate with a supportive
physician.

year, had to test glucose levels 4 or more times per day & had to be taking

Hi Dan,

look on that site for the app that will work with libre 2,

Where abouts in the world are you located?
When I started using the libre here in NZ the app wasn't available and I wasn't
going to pay for the monitor when I couldn't use it,
So I set up an account for the apple app store in the UK and also Australia and
downloaded the app from the UK in the
Waw,
That's pretty full on requirements.
With my freestyle libre I probably test over 10 times per day,
As for insulin
Even type 2's can be on insulin now days

My wife is a type II diabetic who does not use insulin and medicare and our
private insurance pay for most of it. Make sure that they know you are
blind, as i think this makes a difference.

I know in the past insurance companies would not pay for the Freestyle Libre

I would love to have that just because I don’t care for the Prodigy. My
insurance company turned me down flat.

I can vouch, as my wife uses that system. She can see well enough to tuse
the reader, but I set up the app on her phone and i can also check her
readings.
There is now a Libre 2 which has additional features, such as various
alarms, and also a 21 day sensor, but as of now she uses the 14 day
Hi Ann,
yes as others have said there are a couple of brands that I would recommend,
the Dexcom is possibly the better of the 2 I know of,
it is slightly more costly than the Freestyle Libre which has a 14 day life for
their sensors although in the states I believe that might be slightly less.
I also, and highly recommend the Freestyle Libre.

Hi All,
There is a rumor that Apple is working on a glucose monitor with the Apple
watch that will come out in September. Of course this is a rumor but if they do
I might get the new Apple watch if they come out with it.

Hello Ann and all,
I recently started using the Freestyle Libre 14 day system product from Abbott.
I highly recommend this product. I downloaded the Libre link app on my iPhone.
The app is easy to use. You do not need to buy the reader unless you want a
sighted person to look at your readings.
Yes, the Freestyle libre.

All iPhones have both front and rear cameras and I always say the matter of
storage is entirely a personal choice, you know what you have now and whether
are running low on space or not. If you are like me and you don't download

recommend using the app for registering & creating an account, because the

In my work as a rehabilitation instructor I ran into lots of clients dealing
with this.
There are the Dexcom and the Freestyle Libre styles that are patches you wear
for between 12 and 14 days I think, and work wirelessly with your phone, so you
don't have to buy their extra monitoring device.
