[Diabetes-talk] Another Talking Glucose Meter

[Debbie]

I'm sorry I can't give a good description of the unit, but by pressing the 
"m" key, and the up arrow key, one can hear the last 30 readings spoken, 
indicating date and time.

I don't know about other features, but it might be useful for some.
