Visually impaired people get insulin pen dosages right

Labels on the popular insulin pen used by people with diabetes warn

against visually-impaired people using pens to measure out and

administer their insulin dosage.

A Case Western Reserve University pilot study from the Frances Payne

Bolton School of Nursing overturns that thinking, finding that visually

impaired people actually did slightly better than their seeing peers,

although the difference was not statistically significant.

I'm glad someone finally did a study on this. The idea that a blind person

can't use an insulin pen is ridiculous, particularly since pens are

inherently more accessible than traditional syringes!
