[Diabetes-talk] Questions About the Prodigy Voice ...

Mike:

Thanks, I'll pay attention when using it that is if I actually do get it. 
Again, I've been having horrible problems with my prescription company on 
other things.  I know the Voice strips were requested.  It sounds like the 
strips are difficult to insert.

The insufficient sample is a good feature of this little Companion meter I 
have.  If I was to run 2 tests back to back and get very similar results I'd 
go on the assumption the meter is reading correctly.  Using the Companion, 
however, I know this may not be correct since I've done like 3 to 4 tests 
all telling me insufficient sample!

Well, all I can do is give the Prodigy a try and see if its any better than 
these other torture devices I'm using! <LOL>
