[Diabetes-Talk] Update:Question about Clever Choice Voice HD Meter

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, all.


Last week I wrote to the list regarding my clever Choice Voice HD 
Meter.  It is giving me a date of December 31, 2014 with a time of 11:59 
PM.  I have tried numerous times to reset the date, but the setting 
returns to the 2014 date once the machine is turned off and restarted.  
I tried a new set of batteries and this didn't fix the issue.


Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?


It still works for testing blood sugar, though.


I noticed while scrolling through the options for year that the choices 
range from 2013 to 2023.  I suspect this is the problem. Can anyone 
recommend a meter with the same functionality and ease of use as the 
clever Choice Voice HD?

Try to have your new batteries right there on hand and ready to insert in the correct direction. I think the faster and smoother the swap from old to new makes it more likely you will not lose the memory.
