[Diabetes-talk] Question about Prodigy

[cheryl echevarria]

Independent living aids sells it for $89. and at convention they were 
selling it for $25

Joyce if you have insurance either you will pay your co-pay or a deductible. 
You will never pay $500. The cheapest so far I have seen is on the NFB 
website, since we did the testing on it and they have the A+ award from us, 
it makes sense to buy it from the NFB>
