[Diabetes-Talk] Prodigy Voice? Contour?

[Patricia Maddix]

Yes, the model that I use is the Contour Next One and there are newer models out now. You might call the company for a more detailed description of how they work and if each one requires a different app or if they can all use the same app. When I got my Dexcom and wasn’t sure how accessible it might be I was actually able to get one of their IT people to turn on voiceover and test it out on a live system that he had in front of him to confirm that it would read out the blood glucose.

This is accessible as well as the history of previous blood glucose values done. The vvisual graph, of course is not accessible, but I don’t need that. The only two times I needed assistance with this device was when I first bought it and needed to pair it with my phone and the second time was when I had to buy a new phone and again had to pair with a new phone. I think it might be possible to pair it without sighted Assistance by calling technical support and having them walk you through the process. You do press the button and watch for some sort of a light to pair, but I think perhaps by following their guidance of just how many seconds to hold down the button that you could get it to work without sighted assistance. I did find the technical support department to be helpful with any questions I have had.
