[Diabetes-talk] Talking Blood Pressure Monitors

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Oh no, my friend!  Quite the Contrary, because often diabetes and high blood 
pressure, heart disease, and a whole myriad of other conditions go 
hand-in-hand.  At least, that's how I'd see it if I were the moderator. 
Mike is no slouch either Honey, so I truly don't think you have to worry 
about "off-topic" stuff with this one.  As for the "Prodigy duo meter, I'm 
not even sure if they're going that direction anymore.  I don't think 
they've had too much luck with that.  I think the concentration now is on 
the talking pill bottle, the IQ Patch thing, the Count-A-Dose, the lazor 
lancing device, and the talking insulin pump at this point.

You might try checking with the Independence Market over at NFB: 
410-659-9314.  Just follow the automated prompts which will give you the 
extension for the "Independence Market" and someone there will help you 
because they do have a blood pressure monitor and they even have an extra 
large cuffh you can use with the machine for someone who is very arm-heavy.

Have a wonderful and Blessed Easter!

Bern
