[Diabetes-talk] Autocode Glucometer..

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Good Morning Bridgit:

It isn't you at all.  The Autocode is an entirely different meter.  That 
one, actually came out even before the "Voice."  The Autocode is not fully 
accessible.  Setting the meter is a real problem for a totally blind guy, in 
that once you're in the "Setting" mode, speech stops.  A blind guy can't 
access the memory either.  That's how and why the "Voice" came into being. 
We came to them requesting that they get us a "completely accessible" meter! 
That's it in a nut shell Honey.  I used to work for "DDI," (Diagnostic 
Devices.  They have also subsidized to form "Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC." 
They claim to be the makers of the Prodigy Voice, the "Talking Pill Bottle," 
and, of course, they purchased the pattant from Medikool to continue making 
the Count-A-Dose.  Salesmen will tell you that the "Autocode" has a number 
of functions for the "Visually Impaired user."  They say the buttons are 
larger, aren't as recessed as those on the "Voice."  But, I think that's 
only because they're salesmen trying to sell the Autocode.  I worked for 
them and never could tell the difference.  I guess that''s for everyone else 
to decide.  So far though, I personally have found the voice to be the best 
meter out there, at least for me.  I'm not going to get into it any further 
than that.  Have a great day Bridgit.  If you have any further question, 
don't hesitate to holler.

Bern
