[Diabetes-talk] questions about Solo meter and Prodigy Voice

[cheryl echevarria]

did you call ADS, if so, ask them if they are, if not then yes you have to 
use a company that accepts yours insurance and not everyone has the solo 
meter then.  You can call solo and see who sells them in your area.
