[Diabetes-talk] Fw: question on test strips

Wed Feb 8 01:56:35 UTC 2012

I figure that's in the same category as the Prodigy insuylin pump or the new Solo meter that was supposed to come out last August. I'll believe when we get beta-test models.

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.
