[Diabetes-talk] Test Strips Used with Prodigy Voice Meter?

Wed Jun 15 20:52:04 UTC 2016

Hello Bernie and NFB DAN Friends!

Bernie and I worked together at Prodigy in the past and as Bernie, said the
test strips do work with both the Prodigy Voice and the Prodigy Autocode
meters.

I am diabetic for over 40 years and I work in the diabetes industry too.  I
try to keep NFB DAM Members aware of the best place to buy diabetes
supplies.  I just found a mail order company  <http://www.expressmed.com/>
Expressmed.com that sells the Prodigy strips for $5.20 for a box of 50 . the
lowest I have ever seen. Their number is 877.822.2719. 

All the Best!

The prodigy AutoCode meter and the prodigy voice use the same strips.
Thankfully, prodigy was very smart and designed one strip for every meter
they make. So, no matter which made her one orders from prodigy, the strips
will be the same. All the strips fit every meter. They are all one in the
same. Burn.
