[Diabetes-talk] Talking Glucose meter question

[Mike Freeman]

The meter that has an alarm to remind you when to test is the Solo V2.
However, it has some drawbacks: There's no SAY DISPLAY key; one has to
review readings in memory. Moreover, although times of readings are
displayed as one reviews them, the times are not spoken.

And although you may differ from me, I never saw the necessity of an alarm
to remind one when to test. It's sort of like a string around the finger:
one can put one on but one is then faced with trying to remember why. Seems
to me it's pretty easy to remember to test when you get up, go to bed,
before meals or two hours after meals. That pretty-much covers when people
(either type 1 or Type 2) test. To me, almost everything else is unnecessary
froth. But to eash his/her own.

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
