[Diabetes-talk] Guidance on talking glucose monitor

[cheryl echevarria]

Kelly and Tina what do you recommend for her.

I also don't recommend Maxi Aids, we had a big lawsuit with them.  Independent Living Aids is great and also one of our NFB Chapter Presidents in Florida David Wermuth now has his own company

maybe we can support one of our members and chapter presidents on their business as well.  He has said if he doesn't carry it let him know and he will try and find it for you.

  Good Day to you.  So your borderline?  Well that is kinda like being
  sorta pregnant. Only difference is some can control it by diet and maybe
  oral medication and others need insulin.  The prodigy is a great meter.
  My husband is totally blind and uses it with ease.  I myself see well
  enough to be dangerous and teach people how to use it all the time.  One
  thing to know is that purchasing your strips from a pharmacy is
  expensive even with insurance.  However, if you purchase them direct
  from MaxiAids.com you don't need a script and they are only $16.99 a box
  of 50.  Personally we are money ahead buying several boxes at a time.
  Just a little info.
  Rhonda

  This afternoon I received the news that I was "borderline" diabetic. My
  primary care physician wants me to sign up for diabetes education
  classes at my local hospital in Arlington, VA, and he wants me to
  regularly monitor my blood sugar for the next three months when they'll
  test my blood again. Is Prodigy really as good as it seems? Or are there
  other and better talking glucose monitors available? I used to be better
  informed than I am currently. I look forward to receiving accurate
  information and support from this list. Thanks in advance.
