[Diabetes-talk] Got the new Prodigy Voice

[Mike Freeman]

Are you *sure* it's the Prodigy voice and not the Prodigy Autocode? The
latter only has one button; you adjust the time and other parameters by
taking off the battery cover and dinking around with a small knob inside the
compartment. However, I use "you" generously because the meter cannot be set
by a blind person and a blind person cannot review readings from memory. We
are forever trying to get insurance companies and pharmacies to grock that
simply hearing a reading *once* may not be enough and we, too, want to do
everything with a meter that the sighted can.

I also have an autocode which can be used in a pinch. But you'll have to
look at the readings with a watch or clock and write them down manually to
keep track of them.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Got the new Prodigy Voice

Hello everyone,

I ordered my diabetic testing supplies the other day, and to my surprise I
got a new meater. I already had the Prodigy Voice, and I believe this is the
newer one.

Can anyone please write me off-list, and tell me how this thing works. It
only seems to have one button, and it doesn't announce the time.
So how does it keep track of my records?

Also, I tested my blood sugar yesterday with the new meater. It gave me a
reading of 107.
Then I tested my blood sugar with the older meater, just to see if there was
a signifigant difference. It gave me a reading of 94.
Which one should I believe? How do you know which is most accurate?

Any help with all of this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri
