[Diabetes-talk] Random incorrect readings with prodigy voice

[Tamera]

Yes.... I am now trying the soloV. I had a better A1C, which using the 
prodigy and even checking a few times to make sure and using sighted help, 
after a few years I had doubts.
 It would be nice to see prodigy offer  a not enough blood as the soloV 
does, but as you said and I encountered too... it looks good but  what can 
you do but go with the reading, especially after visual help and a few tries 
with same numbers.
 I note the solo/V gives me  a higher low then I believe I am having, my 
symptoms... but  first A1C is more what I'd expect.
 I still like the prodigy product and more avenues to by strips.. I will 
mention one gripe on the soloV is  I do not see how the strips being in the 
vial up and down make for  good specimens, as its nice to know if the strip 
is coming out insertion side  out or toward in as to not do too much 
touching the test end.. but there it is.
