AMT PUMP PARTS

There are many so-called "alternative techniques" of blindness. Using these techniques, people who are blind or visually impaired can perform almost any task a sighted person can perform, with the exception of legally driving a vehicle. These techniques include things such as using braille or a white cane, or basiacally anything that relies on sound, touch, smell, or taste as an alternative to sight.

I've invented such a technique to use when filling my pump tubing. Because I can't see when insulin is dripping out from the end, I hold it over my hand so that I can feel it. This technique wasn't something I thought of in advance, it was just something I did automatically when I was at the diabetes clinic for my pump start. I am usually bad and do not check the cartridge or tubing for bubbles, mostly because I do not have a CCTV (a piece of equipment that can provide extremely high levels of magnification).

By the way, this picture looks like I have purple, alien skin to me. I took it close to a window with daylight coming in and I think that messed up the colour, but I seem to have very limited photo software so can't change it. :(
