[Diabetes-Talk] blood glucose monitor

Sat Feb 23 17:52:05 UTC 2019

I've never used a Clever Choice myself, but several people on the list do, and they have mentioned it before. I will let them comment on the meter itself. All I know is that it is completely, 100% accessible for blind users.

If you have a Prodigy Voice, there is a jack on the right side of the meter towards the bottom where you can plug in ear buds/head phones. I'm looking at an old Prodigy Autocode it accidently sent me years ago, and there is not a ear bud jack.

Bridgit

What is clever choice, and are the strips hard to get?
Does it have an ear phone jack?
