[Diabetes-talk] Fwd: FDA Warning Letter Issued to Prodigy Diabetes care

[Veronica Elsea]

Well, there is one more issue with trying to add a third party speech unit
to today's meters. It was easy ten years ago. Really easy to do. But many of
today's meters have an added safety feature, says I with tongue firmly
planted in cheak. They assume that when you connect a cable to a meter, you
will be transferring data to your computer. So in order to make sure that
nobody hurts themselves by trying to test, thereby introducing liquid could
possibly be electrocuted when connected to a computer. So one of the things
that would need to happen would be the disabling of this feature when
connecting to a speech box. Oh sure, it could be done. But we'd have to
figure out how to make that work without making the companies adapt their
meters for us. That would be where it would start, at least.

Hello, All,
If we want true fidelity in a music recorder, we pay $300 and something 
to buy the LS-100. But somehow we expect to get a complete kit for a 
low price and have it be accurate in testing our blood. There are 
accurate meters. |I think that the Bayer Breeze2 that I have used with 
sighted help is accurate, but half of its memory does not have to go 
into speech. I think it's time to move the speaking function back to 
another gadget, as with the Accu Check Voicemate or the IBG Star, where 
the iPhone does the speaking. What the good folks at |Prodigy should do 
is to make and sell such a device so that we could use almost any meter 
that has a USB connection.
