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

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

I'm with Lynn on this one!  Thumbs up!!  You go Lynn!  and... Might I add, I 
don't really think the rest of us want to hear about it until we all see 
fully accessible, working "STONES" at our doorsteps with price tags on them 
Thank You!!

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.
