[Diabetes-Talk] Question About The Pongo or Pogo Glucose Monitor.

[Veronica Elsea]

Thanks, Lisa. When I looked at it, it didn't have an app yet. So I don't know if the app would behave with VoiceOver and read the result, or if it would just track things and such.

Hi, Eileen.  It's called Pogo.  The app to use it is called patterns.  I 
downloaded it and got registered, but I never purchased the meter, so I 
can't speak to how accessible it is when used with the Pogo monitor. I 
believe the unit uses Bluetooth pairing to work with the app.


This would be good for someone who has consistent difficulty with a 
finger stick.  It would be too expensive to use several times a day as 
each cartridge only has 10 lancets, but it would still give someone a 
good idea of what foods do to blood sugar.
