[Diabetes-talk] Prodigy Voice comments

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Hi Again Coleen:

The only word of advice I can add is that maybe we, who are blind or 
visually impaired diabetics should be grateful that we're blind diabetics, 
rather than having to admit that we suffer from such severe dimmensia as 
that demonstrated by your company's REP.  I am just so apalled off the deep 
end!  What are they doing in that business anyway???  Let's all hope our 
brains never, ever turn to that kind of mush!!!Oh Glory!!!
