[Diabetes-talk] Talking Glucose meter question

Tue Nov 6 12:06:23 UTC 2012

I like that it now says the time. also, I find it is easier to use in some ways than the Prodigy voice.  I also like the before meals and after meals flags on the readings.  Also, although I haven't used it yet, you can upload the meter to a website, and not have to hand write logs.I

I also like the hard case, and the buttons are flush with the meter, so they're not as easily accidentally pressed as with the prodigy. Sent from my iPhone

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.
