[Diabetes-talk] Prodfigy Voice?

Wed Oct 19 14:03:41 UTC 2011

Prodigy Voice with Braille on it?"  Are you kidding?  Why do ya need 
Braille, especially since every button on in, and around it, tells ya what 
it does?  Never heard of it!  Please know that I'm not accusing you of 
lying, however.  Some people jabber about things they know nothing about in 
desperation to selll you something.  That's all Honey.

Hi Bern
I got a call yesterday from the same company wanting to know if I
wanted the Prodigy meter with Braille on it.
also has two more buttons than is on the machine I have now.
I shared that I replaced my machine this last year, where she wants to
see if it would go threw anyway.
the only thing I wouldn't do is go see an eye doctor so Medicare knows
I am blind.
My eyes are artificial where it would cost me to be told this story.
I shared that my doctor could fax I am a total.
She wasn't sure if Medicare would like that, we shall see what happens.
