[Diabetes-talk] new accu-chek voice meter?

[Lynn Baillif]

Hi Gregory,
I'd take what Roche says with a grain of salt.  About 5 years ago now, I was among a small group that met with Roche engineers and marketing folks at the NFB here in Baltimore.  At that time we were told the Voice Mate Plus would be out in a year.  Then they were delayed because they were developing new strips, then they were waiting for their next generation meter to come out, then delay, delay, delay.  Then I was told they had shelved it indefinitely.  So, I will believe it when I can go out and buy one off the shelf.

Good evening Colleen,

Good news and bad news. The good news is Acu-Check will have a talking model to market likely later this year. This is not in stone, but has been suggested to me by several sources. The bad news is only that we have to wait. I have a Acu-Check Voice Mate that I really like and was amazingly accurate compared to the other brands. It has just failed as well. I am sure there are many in our boat. I will reach out to the Acu-Check folks tomorrow or the next day and see what I can find out.
