[Diabetes-talk] Got my new Prodigy Voice and found possible bug in system

[Albert Sanchez]

Hi List

In an earlier post I reported to you that I had recently acquired a new 
Prodigy Voice glucometer. Now, almost a week later, I would like to update 
you on my findings and let you know what I have found, and ask you to see if 
your meter does the same as mine.

After taking four readings a day, for four days in succession I decided to 
cycle through, and write down my readings so that I could provide them to my 
Doctor since I can't download the data to my computer. The 7-day average 
function seemed to work correctly, but, when I read the individual readings 
the meter showed the date and time of each reading correctly, but the "AM" 
or "PM" was wrong. Let me give you an example. Lets say that I read four 
times on February 22 2009 at five AM, nine AM, four PM, and eleven PM. Then 
on February 23, 2009 I read at six AM, eleven-thirty AM, five-fifteen PM and 
ten-thirty PM. When I cycle through those eight readings from the previous 
two days I would get: for Feb. 22nd, five AM, nine AM, four AM, and eleven 
AM. For Feb. 23 I would get six AM, eleven-thirty AM, five-fifteen AM and 
ten-thirty AM.

I subsequently contacted the Prodigy people and explained my findings to 
them and their representative thanked me for the information and indicated 
that they would send me a new meter, asking me to return the meter in 
question. I have since received the replacement meter and it seems to work 
exactly as the first one, showing the "AM" "PM" incorrectly.

My question to the list is this: has anyone else noticed this possible bug 
in the system, or have I simply gotten two bad meters?

Yours,
