>  The mission of Prodigy Diabetes Care is to bring the very best and most 
> high tech products to market for blind and low-vision diabetics, giving 
> them complete accessibility and total independence.
>
>  Prodigy was the first to answer the call of the NFB, AFB and other blind 
> associations several years ago with development and release of the fully 
> audible Prodigy Voice. Prodigy is continuing to make accessibility a 
> priority. Prodigy released on April 1 the new and improved Count-a-dose, a 
> syringe filling system for the blind and low-vision diabetic. Prodigy is 
> working on a "talking" pill bottle and, later this year, Prodigy plans to 
> roll out the world's first and only fully audible insulin pump, giving 
> blind and low-vision diabetics access to this diabetes management tool for 
> the very first time.
>
>  Prodigy, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is the only company producing 
> diabetes testing equipment and supplies to be given access awards from 
> both the NFB and AFB. Prodigy is in the process of completing its 
> Charlotte-based manufacturing and assembly facility, which will make 
> Prodigy products truly American made.
