  Cheryl,

  Just to clarify my wording. The software is downloadable to load onto your 
  computer and then run. This software will then allow you to upload your 
  results to bring to your doctor.
  As I mentioned in my response to Tamera, I will do further review for us of 
  this software.

  When speaking to Tina Rockwell, who is a wonderful lady, she is my 
  representative since going to ADS, called me back.  I wanted to ask about 
  the software to use with the meter to upload my readings so that I can print 
  it out for my doctor.  She informed me that you do not need any special 
  connections, accept a usb connection and anyone you have at home will work. 
  No downloading software, you just go the the 
  http://www.solometers.com/<http://www.solometers.com/<http://www.solometers.com/%3Chttp://www.solometers.com/>>

  and download it and you can save your readings.

    To The NFB Members,



    I am honored to have been given the okay that I would announce that there 
  is another Fully Audible Glucometer available for NFB members that are 
  visually impaired and have diabetes. This meter has been in development for 
  the last 16 months and the NFB New Jersey Diabetes Division was very 
  instrumental in the design phase. We were chosen for the first public 
  announcement of the Solo V2 at our March 2010 NFB NJ Diabetes Division 
  meeting.

    The SOLO V2, manufactured by Biosense Medical Devices, was officially 
  approved by the FDA on March 2nd and we now have a choice. They are the 2nd 
  meter to receive 'Fully Audible' status meaning the SOLO V2 will walk you 
  through every step of the process from set up to obtaining test results.



    Since the announcement of the Solo V2, Biosense (manufacture) entered into 
  a strategic agreement with Advanced Diabetic Solutions to distribute this 
  product.  Advanced Diabetic Solutions has ensured me their customer service 
  representatives are very well trained to address any questions or concerns 
  about the new Solo V2. As most of you know, since we have been doing 
  business with Advanced Diabetic Solutions in the NFB NJ and on the 
  Diabetes-Talk, we have been well supported by their staff.

    I am in regular contact with the owners of Advanced Diabetic Solutions and 
  they have allocated their initial shipment for our NFB members. ADS has set 
  up 3 extensions dedicated for the NFB DAN to use. Their main number is 
  1-888-377-6382 with X7002, X7004 and X7027 especially for us from the NFB 
  DAN.



    The leadership team at Biosense did a phenomenal job reaching out to 
  members like myself to get feedback to make sure this meter is truly 'FULLY 
  AUDIBLE" and accessible through working with us, the blind.



    Two personal examples I want to share. They were originally going to 
  program the glucometer to automatically shut off after 3 minutes. I quickly 
  provided my input stating that 3 minutes was not enough time to prepare the 
  puncture site. Two weeks later, the meter is now programmed to shut off in 5 
  minutes which gives us as visually impaired and blind individuals plenty of 
  time to prepare our blood sample.


    One other feature I wanted to highlight was their ability to have the Solo 
  V2 give audible error messages. One example that comes to mind, and gives me 
  a lot of confidence, is their audible output that warns the user there is 
  not enough blood on the strip. If your blood sample is too small it actually 
  speaks, "Not Enough Blood, Please Test Again!". In today's old technology 
  world, if we do not get enough blood on any meter, we get a FALSE low 
  reading. We all know this could have serious consequences if we acted every 
  time we received a reading that was not accurate.



    In summary, the Solo V2 is the only other Fully Audible meter on the 
  market today. It has the most voice prompts and was truly built to meet the 
  needs of visually impaired customers.



    If you want more information, please call Advanced Diabetic Solutions toll 
  free at 1-888.377.6382, extension 7027 or Tina Rockwell. The ADS Website is: 
  www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net<http://www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net/<http://www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net%3chttp//www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net/>> 
  If you want additional Solo V2 information, please go to their website at 
  www.SoloMeters.com<http://www.solometers.com/<http://www.solometers.com%3chttp//www.solometers.com/>>. The entire website was build 
  to fully integrate with our screen readers and they have download software 
  for the Solo V2 that allows us to download our blood glucose levels. In 
  addition, if you or your affiliate, chapter or local DAN want more 
  information or training, please reach out to Advanced Diabetic Solutions.
