[Diabetes-talk] New Prodigy Voice INFO...

[Jim Smith]

Hey Gang:

Bern here.  I realize there's been some concern here about the Solo V2, ADS
out of Atlanta, and the list of its objectionable practices which seems to
be growing like Pinocchio's nose.  I'm simply passing along some information
which might be of interest to anyone here.    Any or all the contact
information anyone should need is here pasted below.

Have a great day everyone!

Tamera, to answer your question, no prodigy has not updated the Voice
in years to make any improvements.  If anything, they've made it worse
by updating their strips to completely remove any ability to detect
where the blood goes. They used to have rounded edges, now they don't.
 I have to wonder if they contacted the NFB looking for advice before
they did that.  That being said, if you call Biosense directly, I'm
sure they can direct you to another provider that may be able to help
you better than ADS.  And I'm not sure how an additional advertisement
for Voicerx does this conversation any good.  I don't trust prodigy
with testing my blood; I sure as heck am not going to trust them with
helping out with my medication.

I'd like to know if prodigy has made any *>* significant improvements, as  getting my supplies is much more accessible *>* then for the solo, making  it better for  competitive business and  for *>* the consumer.*>* Unless someone can direct me to another resource for buying the strips and *>* such then ADS only?*>**>* Tamera*
