Abstract
Methods and apparatuses providing accessibility options for the blind and poorly sighted for use with insulin therapy systems. A remote control device, with speech output capability and comprehensive speech menu system, may monitor or intercept data generated by a blood glucose meter, and delay, modify and retransmit said data to an insulin pump. The remote control device may also be used to program and set operating parameters of an insulin pump and also record data received from an insulin pump. The remote control device may also be used in conjunction with a personal computing device.
