[Access Lunch] Readings for 4/15

[Sara Kingsley]

Hi everyone,

Below are 2 links to Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) simulators. One is a
link to the mobile application version and the other link is to the desktop
version. I tested each in advance. Using the desktop simulator in Chrome,
with the Chrome captions browser extension, I got the simulator to have
captions. For some reason though, I could not get the desktop simulator to
play with sound. This might be due to my computer screen's sound system so
it might work on your machine. For the mobile version, I downloaded the app
onto my iPhone. I got the app to play with sounds but I could not find a
way to use a voice assistant with the application or captions. However, the
mobile application will give some idea of how loud the alarm is on CGMs.
I'm sorry that there does not seem to be a fully accessible option. To my
knowledge, this might be true for the non-simulator versions too that Type
1 Diabetics wear. I have more research to do on that however. In summary,
the desktop and mobile versions give some idea of the blaring, loud,
obnoxious alarm system and the graphical display of continuous glucose
monitors. I'll continue to experiment and test options for accessible
versions and send out anything I find, if people are interested to try
the applications. Also apologies, I wanted to send the links sooner before
the lunch in case people were interested to try one of the systems
mentioned in the readings but I was testing options. I am happy to play the
desktop and mobile simulators during lunch if that's of interest but we
could also do that later if we want to focus on the readings. Please let me
know at lunch. Thanks, Sara
