[Diabetes-talk] What is an Accucheck Aviva?

[Veronica Elsea]

You beat me to it, Mike. I do hope it's more accurate than the Advantage
though. I still haven't forgiven them for admitting to me that I was correct
in my findings about that meter but not being willing to even discuss my
solution to the problem. There's no excuse for any company not caring that
its readings could be 150 points off. None! For $500 we should have gotten a
better product than that. In terms of form factor though, my favorite
combination was the One Touch Profile with the box from, oh dear, was it
science something? The meter and the box velcroed together and felt like one
compact unit. Never mind that it took a gallon of blood to get a reading.
Hahahahaha! But it was cute. It wasn't as easy to get a bad reading as it
was with the VoiceMate. Oh well, life goes on! <grin.>

Joy: 
The Aviva is the successor to the Advantage, a modified version of which was
part of the VoiceMate system. At one time, I heard that AccuChek was
planning to put out a new VoiceMate based on a modified Aviva but it was
experimental, last I heard and never was marketed.

what was happening.  so, I gave up and I now use the Prodigy Voice.

Acucheck. I am trying to work with the IBGstar. The UI is a mixed bag. It is
workable, but not very pleasant.
