[Diabetes-talk] What is an Accucheck Aviva?

Fri Jun 28 05:04:17 UTC 2013

Hi Gregory!

What is an Aviva?  I used an accucheck Voice
Mate for many years and I miss using it.  The meter part had to be replaced 
too often.  Accucheck did it for free but it took time to explain what was 
happening.  so, I gave up and I now use the Prodigy Voice.

Joy
