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

[Veronica Elsea]

Eileen and all,
When I played with it, there was no app. At that time, every meter didn't
yet work with an app. So yes, it's been a few years. It would be fun to know
if it would read the result on the app. I do remember asking the rep how
we'd know when we'd hit the last test in the cartridge. I can't remember his
answer though. It was 2018 when I played with it.

Veronica,

You mean you played with it using the app or just the device alone? Thanks.
I really can't stand the prodigy but it's the only show in town.

Eileen, I have played with the Pogo. Yeah, it's easy to use. Just one
problem. Can you guess? We do all of that in order to get the result. No
speech. They just think we can't manage physical stuff, rather than
understanding that we need the result in an accessible format. Oops!

Hi All,

 

I'm wondering if anyone is using or has heard of a glucose monitor called
the Pongo or Pogo? It was mentioned to me when I met with the Medtronic
trainer a few weeks back. She said it was great for vision impaired
diabetics, but I question if she had it correct.

 

It is supposed to be all self-contained in one small device that you put
your finger in and it sticks you and tests the blood sample. She said it
announced the result, but I looked for it on-line and am not finding
anything about it being accessible. I did find a meter called the Pogo and
wrote them and they came back saying it was not accessible.

 

I am wondering, however, if it might be something that pairs with a smart
phone and that would be how it speaks a result back. Please let me know if
any one here is using it or knows anything about it.

 

Thanks.

 

Eileen
