[Diabetes-talk] Guidance on talking glucose monitor

[eileen scrivani]

Since the Prodigy Voice has been the ** ONLY ** fully talking meter on the 
market, what else was there for a totally blind diabetic to use?  Process of 
elimination alone, of course, would place it as the best by blind diabetics 
because we had no other choice in the matter!  That is until the release of 
this very new meter just announced!  I think it's a disgrace that we do not 
have available to us the same selection of choices in glucose meters as 
sighted diabetics.  We should all be very happy about the new announcement 
and hope there would be more coming onto the market down the road.
