[Diabetes-talk] Talking Glucose meter question

[Tamera]

I do not know of the accessible talking meters offering these features, but
others here might...  Often people hear the ads on TV, especially offered to
medicare patients that talk, but while they might talk they are not
accessible to a blind person. In other words, a vision impaired person
cannot independently   set, review or use functions without sighted
assistance.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Talking Glucose meter question

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine was telling me that there is a meter out there, that is
fully talking. It can remind you when to test somehow, and it can keep track
of certain times, or all times you test. I can't remember this for sure. 
Also, you can't easily waste strips, because it tells you if there is not
enough blood, or possibly even too much blood on them.

However, I can't remember the name of this meter. Does anyone have any ideas
as to what I could be talking about?
Does anyone have this meter? If so, what do you think of it?

My friend tried to get this meter for her husband.
However, Medicare wouldn't cover it for some reason.
Does anyone here have this meter, who has Medicare? If so, how did you get
them to cover it?
I'm curious about this, because I'd really like to have it. Right now I am
using the Prodigy Voice. While I like it alright, I'd like something better.

Thank you so much!

Terri
