[Diabetes-talk] A Stripless Talking Meter ...

[eileen scrivani]

All I know is what I heard on the commercial.  I suspect it does not use 
blood either, but am not certain.  I'm tempted to make a switch, but don't 
want to go from one inaccurate meter to another that could possibly be even 
worse.  And then too don't want to be stuck in a situation where I have to 
use my supplies before I'd be able to go back if it turned out it wasn't the 
meter for me.

Again, it is Ariva that has had the ads which I've heard a few times.

I would be interested to learn of such a device but don't quite see how it 
would work -- at least if it uses blood samples. Current technology uses 
chemical reactions to produce an electrical voltage which is measured and, I 
presume, its wave-form analyzed. This would mean that the sampling device 
would have to be cleaned between each use, assuming it could be used 
multiple times which I can't imagine since one can't reverse the chemical 
reaction which leads to the voltage.

Hi,

Does anyone on this list know anything about a talking strippless meter for 
testing BG’s?  I have recently heard advertizements on TV from Ariva Medical 
promoting a “talking” meter that does not use strips.  I know these types of 
things have in the past not been accurate, but it is tempting and I’m sick 
of the two meters out there that claim “accessibility.”  So, even if the 
stripless meter wasn’t fully accessible, at this point I’m used to that 
anyway.

Thanks for any input from those who know for a fact and have used the meter.

Eileen
