Andy,

Is Embrace completely accessible even for totally blind people? Can you use
it without any assistance, including set-up?

Greg,

I am a diabetic and I use Prodigy Voice for a quite a while. After some
time, I noticed that the blood sugar levels that I was receiving was not
importing into the software. I have had several problems with Prodigy and
have now switched to a company called Embrace. They also have talking meters
and my diabetic supply company delivers their products. I did not set up
their software yet, but am planning on doing that in the next couple days.

Without too many details, just understand that I've had several different
people helping me remotely at my computer work with the Prodigy company
getting everything set up the right way and finally switched companies. Keep
in touch and I should have an update as to what is going on in the next few
days.

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.
