[Diabetes-Talk] Best talking glucose meter

[Jamie Gurganus]

Hi all!  I would not suggest the Clever meter.  I found it to be very inaccurate compared to the Prodigy.

Hi Greg,
Is this a new model?  As of the beginning of this year the Clever Choice Meter" was not fully accessible to someone who is Blind.
Warmly, Joy

Hello,
The Prodigy Voice is not the only accessible talking glucose monitor. There is one made by Simple Diagnostics. It is fully accessible and it can be set up with no sighted help. If you search for clever choice voice hd glucose monitor it should be one of the first results.

Regards,
Greg Wocher
