You are kind with your words. You are of a strong value to this

  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.
