Answer:
My late father was in the same position,seek help from your local social services,they will put you in touch with the right people who can inform you of all your entitlements due to you because of your sight problems,as for the diabetes,I'm a little surprised that your Doctor and the people at the clinic haven't advised you on this.Just remember,there are a lot of helpful people out there,you have to seek the help on your own initially.Best of luck to you
Hi! Use stickers that have like a bump on them so you can feel them were the numbers are at on the stove. Hope this helps God Bless
Sorry to hear that. As you can clearly still manage with the Internet, I'd take a look at the RNIB's website here: http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/pub...Hope that helps
IF I CAN REMEMBER RIGHTLY YES YOU CAN GET A DISCOUNT ON YOUR TV LICENCE ALSO YOU NEED TO REQUEST A ASSESSMENT FROM YOUR LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES AS THEY CAN COMMISION ANY EQUIPMENT FOR DAILY LIVING AS WELL AS AN ASSESSMENT FROM AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES CAN GIVE YOU CONTACT DETAILS( DONT WORRY WHAT EVER HELP OR EQUIPMENT THEY WILL PROVIDE WILL BE IN AGREEMENT WITH YOURSELF SO LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU WANT OR NEED OR DON'T WANT!. OR YOU COULD TRY LOCAL BRITISH RED CROSS DISABLED LIVING CENTRE FOR ADVICE OR WHERE TO BUY EQUIPMENT. OR TRY THE DISABLED LIVING FOUNDATION WEBSITE www.dlf.org.uk HOPE THIS HELPS.
Well you can get a blood meter that speaks out the numbers and you can listen for the clicks on your insulin pens so should be able to do it all yourself as long as you are comfortable with that. You should be able to get your tv licence half price even if you live with fully sighted people! Sorry to hear that you've gone blind but I've no doubt you'll adapt and there's a lot of support available now. Good luck xxxx
You can get a special magnifying glass, from the visual impairment team, and a box with a yellow button, When you press the button it will tell you the time, and a special lamp that will help you to read, with your magnifying glass. You also get a machine that will play CD's in the form of stories, which will be sent to by the blind, and when you are finished the story send it back and they will send you more. free postage anything else I can tell you let me know.
try and find rnib site it will give you all info you need ( thats uk info) cookers etc can be fitted to suit your needs do not have to pay for licence you should be seeking advice from experts
