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

[dmgina]

I know I shake my hand down and the blood goes to the fingers.
I might miss a bit but not often.
Usually the second time works if there is a miss.
I also figured out how to work the machine.
Now how about that plus.
I even went back to the lady and shared with her.
Only one word I don't understand.
when you want to delete out the three months readings, do you push the up 
button?
There is a word I just don't understand what it is saying.

>> As with every meter on the market today (hype to the despite

>> enough blood on the strip is if the readings don't make sense. Solution:
>> just do another test.
>>
>> The other bothersome problem with the meter is that because of the
>> strip-ejection mechanism (which is nice at times but not truly
>> necessary), one must be careful to ensure that when inserting the strip,
>> it rests on the floor of the square-shaped groove that is on the bottom
>> half of the clamshell comprising the Voice's case. If you insert the
>> strip, always sliding it in so that it's touching the bottom of the
>> groove (as opposed to just shoving it into the clamshell somewhere in
>> the vicinity), you'll have little or no trouble.
>>
>> Aside from this, the only thing you need worry about is that the strips
>> you are given actually say they're for the Voice on the box.
>>
>> Other than that, I find the meter pretty reliable although some of the
>> initial meters had some quality control problems.

>> Hi:

>> I've requested my doctor send a perscription in to my pharmacy plan for

>> Thanks.
