title: Diabetes aids and products for people with visual or physical impairment.
abstract: Common complications of diabetes include visual impairment and problems with manual dexterity because of peripheral neuropathy. These conditions make diabetes self-care activities difficult unless techniques and equipment can be individually modified. To help diabetes educators and their clients locate aids and products to meet their special needs, this paper presents a compilation of aids and products and how and where to obtain them. A complete bibliography is included.
