Help Available For Visually Impaired Diabetics

Filed in archive News by Rhys on May 10, 2006

Although there are numerous fantastic resources available for managing diabetes, most of those are in print form. And with vision often affected by diabetes, how can the visually impaired access valuable information?

One magazine is taking steps to reach all its 'readers.' Diabetes Self-Management now provides all their magazine content in audio form that can be accessed through a telephone.

aarp magazine, The Economist, and The New Yorker are also accessible this way. All calls are toll-free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
