[Diabetes-talk] introduction

Paul,

Welcome also...

The Advanced Diabetic Solutions company, 
http://www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net/.
joined us in New Jersey at our state convention last year and have men's

footwear http://www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net/womens-diabetic-footwear

Concerning your meter, you have unfortunately gotten a non fully accessible 
meter. In my opinion, many medical professionals have accidentally been miss 
lead to advise a visually impaired diabetic to the Prodigy Autocode. For 
today, even should someone speak Spanish and is blind, the Prodigy Voice is 
better as it is an accessible blood glucose testing machine. If you might 
have any opportunity to switch to the Prodigy Voice it would work better for 
you.

Paul:

Welcome to the list.

I assure you that the list is not going away. It is one of many lists
NFB operates and, in truth, is functioning just as it should -- as a
networking device for blind diabetics in general and members of NFB who
are diabetic in particular. I'm glad you find it helpful.

It can't hurt to put new batteries in, have a sighted person set the
meter up and see if that helps. Also (dumb as this sounds), make certain
the strips are going into the Autocode right-side-up. But since you're
getting the initial musical salutation, I expect that isn't the issue.
But I'd have a sighted person check to see if you're getting an error
message.

I am paul, and a newly diagnosed diabetic for about 3 months, and am
totally
blind, which for the record is not a diabetes related complication.
This
group has been a real find for me, and if there are issues with the
voice, I
hope we aren't possibly going to lose the list as well.

I have an issue with a prodigy talking audocode meter which I was given,
rather than the prodigy voice.  I have been working with this for about
3
months, and now that the batteries are aging, I think I'm running into
issues.  First, when I insert a strip, it plays its music, and thanks me
for
using prodigy, then tells me the current room temperature, and says to
apply
blood into the strip.  I do this, and often nothing happens, it doesn't
beep
to indicate it has enough blood to test, and after 3 minutes, it sings
its
good-bye song, and shuts off.
There are no audible cues to tell me if low battery is an issue, or what
else to do.  Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
