[Diabetes-Talk] Walmart relion premier voice meter

Hi Greg,
Yes, you are correct.  The only truly accessible blood glucose meter for
blind people with Diabetes is the Prodigy Voice.

Hello all,
I was at Walmart today and thought I would pick up one of these meters to
test it out. Unfortunately it is not very good. The first problem I ran into
was during set up. You can hear each category during the setup but you
cannot hear what you are setting the value to. For example it will say set
year but then when you hit the left and right arrow it will not speak the
value as it is changing. The next issue is the test strips which are shaped
weird on the end where you put your blood. It is not flat across like most
strips. It has a really small nub that the blood goes on to. The third issue
is that the app you can use with it on iOS is not accessible. Well at least
I could not get past the verification part. You are asked to input a code
you get in your email but there is no way to get to the fields where you put
the numbers with Voiceover on.
