Isn't it funny how the ultimate threat for us to control our blood sugar is you will go blind and the biggest fund raising card they hold out is to prevent blindness, and yet hardly any of them have accessible material. The ADA has virtually none of their handouts, etc. in large print braille or other alternate media.

Then, tap on Carbs, enter the number, tap on Insulin and enter the number. Then, hit the done button which is just above the 3. You will find an option to tag it with pre-breakfast, post-breakfast, etc. It comes up as a picker item. So, it looks pretty accessible out of the box. The keypad says a lot of unnecessary stuff, but it is manageable. I work with a lot of people with diabetes. I called the company and was told the app is not compatible with VoiceOver, but they are looking into it. I pointed out how much I could do with the app now, and it would take very little tweaking for them to make it completely accessible. The person I talked with took my information and said he would forward it on to management etc. They do not provide any way to contact that department. Perhaps if enough people call them expressing an interest in making it more accessible with VoiceOver, they will take the time to do the adjustments needed. Toll Free: 800-633-1610.
