Abstract

The author believes that anyone in the medical or rehabilitation fields who wishes to work with the blind diabetic must understand the impact of blindness on diabetic control, the practical skills that enable the blind diabetic to maintain good control, the emotional concomitants of blindness, and the areas in which it may be necessary to de-emphasize control because of the person's emotional needs. Self-administration of insulin, urine testing, diet, exercise, as well as factors that influence the individual's attitude toward control of his diabetes are also discussed.
