[Diabetes-talk] callibrating the Prodigy Voice?

[Mike Freeman]

Lauren:

I haven't calibrated my Voice for over a year which was the last time I had valid control solution.  If your readings make sense most of the time, I wouldn't worry about it.  Remember that the Prodigy people are engaging in a bit of CYA in order to avoid legal liability.  If you're really worried, take your meter and test the next time you have blood drawn for an A1C test.  Test at nearly the same time and ask to be told what your bg was from the drawn blood.  If the readings are fairly close, you've nothing to worry about.

>  i'm a bit confused and i'm hoping some of  you might have a good answer.  i just got my Prodigy Voice back in December, and in reading through the instruction manual, my understanding was that it needed to be callibrated once a week.  i just reordered my testing supplies, and had a bit of a mixup with getting more test solution ordered.  But in the process of dealing with that, the person i was talking with said that i only needed to callibrate once every 90 days.  Now to me this doesn't make sense, since from what i know one bottle of solution is only supposed to be good for up to 3 months, which would mean it would be only good for maybe two uses if you only callibrate once every 90 days.  In any rate, i don't know which is correct, and maybe i've been callibrating more than i needed to be.  Any clarification on this would be grately appreciated.  Thanks so much.
