[Diabetes-talk] Proving Blindness?

Wed Oct 19 09:21:22 UTC 2011

blues.  One of those things that'll either cure 'em or kill 'em!  LOL!! 
LOL!!

>> Tamera, to answer your question, no prodigy has not updated the Voice

>> 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

>> 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
