[Diabetes-talk] Solus V2 web site.

[Mike Freeman]

The Prodigy Voice was on the market long before the Solo V2 went on the market. There isn't a meter (talking or not ) that allows the user to edit and delete readings. The SensoCardPlus, marketed in Great Britain, allowed this but it is no longer available and never achieved 510(k) certification in the U.S. Anyway. Meter manufacturers are scared silly that meter users will fudge their results if they are allowed to delete readings from meter memory. They don't buy the libertarian argument that users are only hurting themselves if they do this and should be allowed to do so. 
Oh well.
