[Diabetes-talk] Clevercheck swap

[Mike Freeman]

Amy:

Although I have personally not used the CleverChek, your skepticism is 
warranted. I believe that you cannot review past bg readings from memory 
as you can with the prodigy Voice. In fact, the Voice is the only 
talking bg meter on the market today in the U.S. that is 
fully-accessible. I will forward you a private email from Kelly Massaro 
of DDI, Inc., which gives several suppliers of Voice strips. One is 
vouched for by members of the NFB of NJ and another, ADvanced Diabetes 
Supply out of California, also has strips. I and a couple of others on 
this list had plenty of trouble with them at first but that appears to 
be all straightened out and I've gotten good service the past couple of 
orders.

Don't let your strip supplier bamboozle you! (grin)

Mike Freeman, President
NFB of Washington

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Clevercheck swap


Hello All,
I've been testing with a Prodigy Voice since November 2008, and 
receiving my strips from a mail order company. Yesterday when I called 
to order new supplies, they informed me that they are no longer going to 
distribute the Prodigy strips because, according to the customer service 
rep, they are too difficult to obtain. She said that they will send me a 
Clevercheck, free of charge. I , ever the cynic, asked many questions 
and was assured that the Clevercheck has all of the same functions as 
the Prodigy Voice, except that it does not announce the date when 
initially powered up. Because I've been so happy with the Prodigy meter, 
I'm reluctant to give it up, but want to give the Clevercheck a fair 
shot. Is anyone using the Clevercheck? What are your opinions? If I try 
the Clevercheck and find that it isn't to my satisfaction, does anyone 
know where I can reliably receive mail order  Prodigy Voice supplies?
Because I've read all the positive material written in "Voice of the 
Diabetic" about the Prodigy model, and haven't heard anything on the 
Clevercheck, I fear that my skepticism may be legitimate. I appreciate 
any feedback on this subject.
In Gratitude,
Amy
