Fri Sep 8 00:41:46 UTC 2023

Please do let me know how  this works for you .i would like to  have a back up solution to my clever-choice.i do have  the other one which I think most use  on the list but I could not make heads or tails out of it and with my frustration I went looking for another accessible or useable meter  solution for some one who is low vision/ blind.

I also use the Contour next 1 m and the app does read aloud the blood sugar results very well. I just needed assistance in one place in setting up the app and after that have been using it independently for several years. it is quite an accurate meter.

There is a talking meter called the. Prodigy, but all it does is read you the blood sugar. You cannot set it up or change anything on your own.

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.
