[Diabetes-Talk] Which Meter??

[Alan Lemly]

David,

If you want an accessible meter that works with your iPhone and Voiceover,
the Contour NextOne  meter works well. You might need a bit of help to get
it set up with the app but once that's done, the app is very accessible.
Amazon sells a kit including the meter, case, 20 test strips, a lancing
device, and 10 lancets for $19.97. Here's the link to it:

That link is very long so here's a TinyURL link to it:

Thanks, this is what I was looking for!

I don't think my A1C is high enough that I would need, or want to stick 6
times a day.
