[Diabetes-Talk] meters

[Alan Lemly]

Well, I've had no problem with the quality of my Prodigy meter and I'm much
more interested in a meter's accessibility than where it shows up in reviews
by most who are not concerned with accessibility. And I'm curious what sort
of updates you expect for a meter that does what it's designed to do and is
fully accessible. I've been using glucose meters for years and I don't
recall any of them getting updated like a smart phone or smart phone app. It
would be nice to have a meter that could transfer its readings to a
well-designed app that was fully accessible and allow review of past scores
as well as transfer of those scores to medical professionals. I see that the
ReliOn that you're touting has an app but 70% of its reviewers give it one
star so it has problems. I like that I can upload my Prodigy Autocode
readings to Diasend where I can print the reports my endocrinologist needs.

Hello, Ed and Everyone,
To go on with what Ed said, the ReliOn Pro Voice is easily available though
hardly as accessible as the Prodigy Voice. 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.
