[Diabetes-talk] False Low/Good Reading on Prodigy Voice?

[Ed Bryant]

Hi Eileen,
Your prodigy voice should be more accurate than you described. I would call
Diagnostic Devices Inc. and explain the situation with their meter. They
should gladly send you a new meter, because I am sure they don't want their
meter providing incorrect information. 
Regards, 
Ed Bryant

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] False Low/Good Reading on Prodigy Voice?

Hi folks: 

Have any of you been getting either low or good range readings on the
Prodigy Voice, but contrary results from the lab/doctor's office?  I suspect
that my Prodigy Voice is not functioning properly.  I had to go to my doctor
today for a procedure and prior to leaving the house I did a test on the
voice that came back 103 -- a very good number.  Prior to the procedure my
BG was tested and I was told the result was 236!  

Additionally, the last two A1C readings I got back from the doctor were
higher than they have ever been for me -- over 7!  I'm very upset about
this.  I test regularly, know how to count my carbs and am on a sliding
scale insulin regiment ... So I ask myself what's going on here?? I suspect
the meter is giving faulty readings.  Sometimes I know the numbers are off,
based on the way I feel and re-test and there can be a pretty big
difference.  Still the numbers that usually come back are not so outrageous
that my A1C's should be so horrible.  

Has anyone heard of other meters coming on the market?  Are there any out
there that will give an error message when/if insufficient blood drops are
placed on the test strip?  I'm very disgusted -- originally, I was liking
the meter because of its simplicity, but it appears to me that it is not
working properly.

Eileen
