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

[Lisa Belville]

Yep, that's why I was interested in it, too.  I have great difficulty 
getting a reliable reading without stabbing multiple fingers.  I thought 
this type of set up would be just the ticket. I couldn't tell how the 
readings would be displayed, and even though I have an iPhone and use 
all of the OCR apps out there, I didn't want to fiddle around with it 
just to get a result.
