Within recent years blind persons with diabetes have emerged as an increasingly significant segment of the visually impaired population in the United States. Heightened sensitivity to complexities imposed by diabetes upon blind persons is. apparent among vocational counselors, rehabilitation teachers, mobility instructors, and others. Physicians, nurses, and health professionals, too, seek guidelines, resources, and materials specific to problems associated with diabetes and blindness. Aside from its psychosocial and economic impact on the patient and his family, diabetes endures for a lifetime. Its management pervades the individual's daily life, diet, exercise, urine testing, injections of insulin or oral medications. And although significant, often crucial benefits accrue from self-administered treatment, the existence of reliable devices that enable blind diabetics to measure and administer all types and combinations of insulin safely is not as widely known as it should be. These products, in conjunction with instruction and training in their usage, assist many blind persons to achieve optimal independence in controlling their diabetes. The selection and suitability of a particular device must, of course, be based upon the special needs, idiosyncrasies, and circumstances of the individual diabetic. Descriptions of products that a number of visually impaired diabetics have found suitable and manageable are contained in the following paragraphs.

The present work was aimed at investigating the degree of participation of the stump end in the weightbearing process in PTB prostheses. Despite the belief that the stump end is not capable of withstanding high loads, it was revealed that most patients can bear from 15 percent up to 45 percent and more of their weight on the stump end. The limited number of patients studied diminishes the statistical significance, but the results of this work do suggest that the weightbearing mechanism of a PTB prosthesis can be further improved by transferring more load through the stump end. It is suggested that a nondestructive technique for assessing the end-bearing efficiency of the prosthesis be developed. Also, the criteria for design of the socket end in order to produce the desired load-bearing features needs further investigation.
