[Diabetes-Talk] meters

[Ed Worrell]

Both meters have fairly clear speaking voices, but the level of clarity depends on the person using the meter. I personally do not have any issues with hearing the Relion meter, but your mileage may very.

However, accessibility is not the whole story, since the quality of the meter itself must be considered. The ReliOn meters show up near the top of reviews, while Prodigy courts the bottom. We must also keep in mind that the Prodigy meters, including the Voice, have not been updated in years and are getting long in the tooth. I'm beginning to think that if we must continue to use those inexpensive little glucometers with small memories, we will also keep on having to face a trade-off between the device's actual quality as a meter and its accessibility.
