[Diabetes-talk] Question about Prodigy

Wed Oct 29 17:21:36 UTC 2008

Hi Cheryl,
    The NFB is not the cheapest place to purchase the Prodigy Voice.  The 
NFB website shows the meter costs $75 which includes a kit which contains 10 
test strips, 10 lancets, a lancing device, control solution, and a carrying 
case.

Regards,
Ed Bryant
