[Diabetes-talk] gestational diabetes have some questions about atalking glucose meter

[Milton Ota]

I find that the spring in the barrol is much stronger and I can use the 
lancet up to four to five times. I don't know about the lancet that 
comes with the Prodogy voice.

On the Prodogy voice there is a large round button and when held down 
it will go into memory mode and then using the up and down keys you can 
scroll  through the memory.

If you are needing an earphone jack, there is one on the Prodogy and it 
will take a 3.5 inch plug, the size of plug found on most headphones today.

The meter uses 2 triple A batteries and they last quite long.

HTH.
