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

[Alan Lemly]

Many thanks to all who posted to answer my question. Now, I just need to
locate the lowest price online for a Prodigy Voice meter to use with those
Prodigy autocode strips when they arrive.

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.
