Bridget,

I live alone and when I bought the Clever Choice Voicemeter last fall I did 
the entire set up on my own with no sighted assistance. It speaks all of its 
memory values as well without limitations.

I too am an excellent Amazon customer and use them all the time for a 
variety of products, but when it comes to the test strips, they are not sold 
by Amazon directly they are coming from a second or third party seller. So I 
do not want to risk getting a batch or several batches of strips that are 
out of date. Besides, I have insurance that is supposed to cover the cost of 
my diabetic testing supplies. I want insurance to cover that cost not pay 
out of pocket for them.

My understanding was the Clever is not fully accessible to set up initially.

I order a lot on Amazon, including food, and things are always "fresh." 
Especially if you have Prime and things come in 2 days. Shipping from Amazon 
is no different then shipping from anywhere else.

I have the Clever Choice talking meter as well and would like very much to 
switch to it rather than using the Prodigy. However, I do not want to 
purchase strips through Amazon since I question the freshness of the strips. 
Does any one know of both the name and address of a Medicare approved 
provider that has strips for the Clever Choice Voice? This meter does have 
full accessibility – the Prodigy is not the only one with full 
accessibility. The issue is getting strips that work with the Clever Choice 
Voice.

Thanks for any recommendations on providers.

Hello,
Actually you can do this also with the Cleverchoice voice hd meter. It is 
also fully accessible. I have one. I just prefer the Prodigy Voice because 
the strips are a bit cheaper.
