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

[Mike Freeman]

A CGMS is not a substitute for a regular glucose meter but can be useful in some situations.

Eileen,

I would love to have a CGM, a continuous glucose monitor.  They don't have a talking one yet, but isn't that the perfect thing for us?  My doctor told me to talk to my senator.  
I hear it costs about $4,000. per year, so you need a good insurance plan-not Medicare as I have.
This is what the other diabetics on the Tour de Cure use while riding.

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
