[Diabetes-talk] Guidance on talking glucose monitor

[cheryl echevarria]

Eileen I totally agree, we shouldn't poo poo at these things companies are listening and now there is a second one, they want to work with us.  So we need to work with ADS and either let them know Vincent Chaney or myself and of course Tina and Jordan are on this list, they want this to work so they can get it out to us. Solo Meter wants this to work. so try let them know you want to try it maybe you can get it for free and see how it works.

Competition is great.  I like many things about the new solo meter, I don't use a ear piece, because my ears are to sensitive so I just lower it to where I can hear it.  But some like the ear piece.  So let them know.

They can redesign it.

  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.
