Hi Paul,

Best of luck at your up coming anniversary.
I have found that when my battery is getting low the meter has slowed down. 
The number of readings does not seam to matter as I test myself 7 to 10 
times a day as an "Insulin Pumper". The weird thing is when the meter passes 
about 392 in number of tests in the memory, the average 90 result gives you 
a bogus less than 20 blood sugar level. Besides my interest and fascination 
with diabetes, biology and the sciences, I'm very techy and have tested my 
theory by dumping my results and found the erroneous blood sugar level on 
the 90 day to always be off after the 392 or 393 count.
But to reiterate the answer to your question, the number of tests in memory 
is not the reason for the slowdown. Just be ready with the battery as my 
machines just suddenly say change battery now without any low battery lead 
or prep time. I also believe the memory actually holds 450, unless the 
changes in the machines over the last year have lowered the number of tests 
in memory.

Good luck...

Hey guys,

My prodigy voice meter seems to be working slower and slower.

I know that its memory for retained readings is at 400, and as that number
approaches, will the meter slow down?

Since my doctor pulls a1c readings, rathan debriefing the meter, is it
sensible to dump the data, and perhaps it will run more efficiently?  Please
advise.

I'm coming up on my first anniversary of my diagnosis, and I'm averaging a
little higher these past few days.  I want to say again that I appreciate
everyone's input on this list, and here's wishing you all good health.



Paul
