[Diabetes-talk] Random incorrect readings with prodigy voice

[Mike Freeman]

Veronica:

I don't disagree with you.  In fact, I consider *all* meters on the market,
be they for the blind or sighted, abysmally lower in accuracy and
consistency than they could be!  But we probably wouldn't want to pay the
price for the sort of meter I'm dreaming of! <g>

It is possible when putting blood on the Prodigy strip to completely 
miss a corner area. Sorry, I'm less kind on this topic. There's no 
excuse with today's technology for meters that start testing before 
there's enough blood. If I knew what the reading ought to be, I sure 
wouldn't be beating up on my fingers! In the vast range of meters 
available to sighted people, there are some that are so much better 
in that they don't perform the test if there isn't enough blood. It's 
why I've held off on using the prodigy. I hope that a future model 
takes care of this problem, I really do.
