[Diabetes-talk] Responses to talking blood glucosemeters and breakfasts

[d m gina]

I have never seen a spinich almlet in a restrauant.
If this works for you, that is what matters.
Just know it was all in fun.
I have learned not to take myself seriously and all works out well.
Keep smiling and you will live for many years to come.

>> Hello
>>  don't know where you live, but I'm willing to share a number where
>> ou can get the strips sent to your home.
>>  also would love to show you how to use the meter.
>>  got my new meter today, and had it going rite away.
>> ecause I knew what to do.
>> ere is my email address.
>> hen I would be pleased to give you my phone number so we could work this out.

>>  Ok, here are my thoughts on talking meters and breakfast items.  I'm new to
>>  diabetes too and I ended up with a prodigy talking meter because it was
>>  heavily recommended by people here.  My pharmacist thought the solo was the
>>  way to go because he said he felt it was easier than the prodigy, but it
>>  ended up that the prodigy is what insurance paid for, so that's what I got.
>>  The phone support for it leaves a lot to be desired, and there are no
>>  Braille instructions for the operation of the meter itself.  I sent an
>>  e-mail to prodigy about this issue and asked if they had directions in a
>>  format other than print, but that was over a month ago and they never did
>>  bother to respond.  I still have frustrations with the meter's use.  It both
>>  upsets and amazes me that with the Braille label on the box and this 1800
>>  number to call for staff members who are supposedly specially trained in its
>>  use how uninformed the phone staff is and also that there are no audio
>>  instructions for operating the meter itself.  I still don't know which
>>  buttons do what and how to set up most of the functions.  So for technical
>>  support or even basic questions, I've found the prodigy disappointing.
>>  Also, getting new test strips and lancets for it proved to be a major
>>  headache for my local pharmacy.  They kept insisting they didn't have these
>>  materials in stock and that I needed to call the manufacturer, who told me
>>  they didn't have it either and I needed to check with the pharmacy again.  I
>>  finally got the new supplies but it took some doing.
>>> Speaking of talking products, I read somewhere in bridging the gap that
>>  Bayer makes some kind of device that doesn't make you stick your fingers and
>>  you can still check your sugar.  Any idea if this device is accessible?  How
>>  about any of these glucose monitors that work on a continuous basis, or
>>  patches that go onto or under your skin.  Any idea if these are accessible
>>  too?
>>> Ok, on to breakfast topics.  With my busy work schedule there just isn't
>>  time for things like making oatmeal.  I don't get up early enough for that
>>  in the mornings to make that work and am usually rushing out the door to get
>>  to work on time.  In saying that, I have been eating the Jimmy Dean
>>  breakfast bowls.  I'm aloud up to 45 grams of carbohydrates at meals and
>>  this falls under that number.  With it, I drink something like a crystal
>>  light drink, maybe a lemonade or orange juice flavor so it's almost like
>>  having lemonade or orange juice again.  I gave both up on my diagnosis.
>>> Oh, and I hate skim milk!  1% is about all you'll get me to do and that's a
>>  maybe.  My mom's funny.  She'll drink that skim milk and put ice in it.  I
>>  asked her why she just didn't get herself a glass of water and save herself
>>  the taste.
>>> Ok, I guess I've run my mouth enough for one night.  Have a good evening.
>>> Julie
