[Diabetes-talk] Solus V2 web site.

Thu Apr 25 09:06:26 UTC 2013

A third deficiency with the solo v2 was that it only spoke the last 10 
readings.  Also unrealistic readings were stored and figured into 
averages.  That last deficiency could be corrected by having the meter 
ask if the subject is in coma and if the answer comes back as no, the 
readings like 26 and sugar too low and the like should not be counted 
into the averages.  I wonder if any of these deficiencies were 
corrected.  
Finally what is the accessibility status of the Prodigy Voice and was 
that meter put on the market after the solo v2 became available?
