They might do the same thing to you with the Prodigey Voice that they did with the Solus V2.  And, I stand corrected on my below message.  I said Bio-Reference was the manufacturer of the Solus V2, when it is in fact Bio-Sense.

Arriva has the Autocode, and they seemed totally unaware that there is a 
more advanced meter, specifically the prodigy voice, which I use now.

It might have been the Embrace since I believe some test supply companies 
are pushing it.  I was using Ariva for my Solus V2 test strips and they 
stopped supplying the Solus V2 strips.  They told me they were out of stock 
and the company from whom they get their stock was back ordered.  When I 
called Bio-Reference the manufacturer of the Solus V2 I was told they are 
still making the Solus V2 and related strips.  They told me Ariva chose not 
to carry Bio-Reference’s Solus V2 brand since they were carrying another 
brand.

Arriva was pushing heavily, the Embrace, which I did not want so had to 
change suppliers.

Which meter? The Prodigy Voice is completely accessible. It has a repeat
button that's accessible, and it has a headphone jack as well. You can go
into the settings and set time, date and anything else. You can also go into
history and retrieve past readings. Everything talks with Prodigy Voice.

I just paid $10 I think it was a couple of years ago where you can get your
strips cheap as well.
I got the information from this list.
At this time I would have to look it up again.
The meter only says the numbers loudly one time, and if you didn't get it
take the test again, and you will get another reading.
This meter also doesn't have the ear phone jack, where just knowing what
your numbers are is fine with me.
The folks are quite kind, and ready to help when you call.
You give your email address then get weekly information on what they are
doing.
