[Diabetes-talk] Prodigy Voice comments

[Debbie]

Seems like something like "pen friend" or similar device could be used. 
Barring that, have the info sent from the manufacturer to a service like 
http://www.braille.org to send out the serial number in Braille-or recorded 
method, as appropriate!

The most challenging thing for me, as a totally blind person, is to get 
serial numbers read.
