[Diabetes-talk] Fw: question on test strips

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi,
I have a Prodigy Talking Meter.
My Insurance company no longer pays for strips or lancets for me.
`you support two met%s which do not talk. They actually wanted to know why I couldn't use a large screen unit. I guess they didn't onestand what Totally blind means.
I am in the process of getting ÿ COULDE to send in more information.
