[Diabetes-talk] Prodigy & Its Memory?

[Jude DaShiell]

These meters use recycled inexpensive memory which has a mean time 
before failure at a maximum of five years.  They're like the sharp 
talking clocks in that respect.  You might pull the battery out of the 
meter and perhaps put a new battery in and test the meter over a couple 
days, but memory wears out like batteries.  
Now, meters could get better by ditching silicone memory and replacing 
silicone memory with amorphous memory for a couple reasons.  One is it 
lasts much longer than silicone and costs much less to make.  If anyone 
is interested in reading about amorphous memory look up an article 
called "the amorphous man" and read that article.
