[Diabetes-talk] Talking Glucose meter question

[Gail the U. S. male]

Mike, when you say that the solo v2 does not say time readings is no longer correct!  I have the latest version, Which I was sent to evaluate, and it now does say the times, unlike it's earlier counterparts.  I switched to this meter from the Prodigy voice, and just love it!  I don't use the alarm reminder though.
