[Diabetes-talk] Another Talking Glucose Meter

[gary melconian]

Looking at the amount   of work that the embrace talking meter involves I
don't think I want to go through all that hastle . With my pprotegy voice
meter, I do a much easier job. Place the test strip into the meter get a
pinch with that bplunger stick for blood get some blood  out of my finger by
pinching my finger a bit , and place on to the   test strip and get my
number. I have done this so many times that I already have the hang of it.
So for me the protegy voice is good enough.

Last time I checked, the app for the OneTouchReveal was inaccessible.
However, the other iPhone meter (I forget its name) does seem workable, if a
bit awkward.

I'm curious to know if the app for th iPhone and Android platforms on mobile
devices are accessible.

Would sure like to hear more about this meter as it will open up another
option for us diabetics.
