Thanks Greg. 

I think I would have given the Clever meter a try, except I just placed an order for the Prodigey since my most loved Solus V2 is no longer being made. I felt forced to switch to the Prodigey since it was the only other talking meter I was aware of. I’m going to look this meter/manufacturer up on-line to see what I can come up with. I hate bothering my doctor to keep doing yet more paperwork for this nonsense!I had used a Prodigey Voice some years back and was not satisfied with it I hope in the time I’ve been using the Solus its gotten better.

Hello,
Yes you can review your readings. The clever choice voice hd is fully accessible. The problem I have with the prodigy voice is that I keep getting your blood sample is not enough please try again. This message can happen to me several times a day so i end up having to prick my fingers several times to get a good reading.

Regards,
Greg Wocher
