INSULIN VIALS
WITH TACTILE MARKS: THE PROJECT CONTINUES

by Ed Bryant

Since January 1992, we, the Diabetes Action Network of

the National Federation of the Blind, have led the campaign

to bring tactile markings to the different insulin types.

As long as insulins are packaged in identical vials,

differentiated only by the writing on the label, blind

diabetics (and many sighted individuals as well) are at risk

of mixing the different types, with potentially very serious

more questions than any other book I've read about diabetes. I

love the stories... Your newspaper was given to me by a friend of
