Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thank you Arnando for posting this Product Evaluationarticle, which compares both the SensoCard Plus and the new Prodigy Voice meters. However, I did notice one slight error in this article, relating to the company that are distributing the SensoCard Plus blood monitor. In the article, they clame that BBI should be applauded for their efforts in making accessible blood glucose meters and seeking input from many people who are blind or have low vision who will use the meters, as well as those from the RNIB themselves. As many of you will know who have been on this list for some while. I was involved with the trials of the SensoCard Plus blood monitor before it was released on the British market. In fact, credit should be really given to Bill Cunningham's company, CDx Ltd, who originally had the sight and vision to carry out the hard work in obtaining a talking blood monitor for blind diabetics in Brittain, but also, getting the company involved in Hungary to manufacture the SensoCard Plus meter that we have today. BBI only got involved with this product, due to ill health of Bill Cunningham's wife, and sold on his company to them. I am pleased to say however, she is a lot better now. I had the opertunity to speak with Bill on the phone the other day, and I asked him on behalf of this group, if he was going back into diagnostics again, and if so, would he be prepared to look into the possibility in manufacturing a talking pump. He said he would give it some serious thought. If I receive any further news on that front from Bill, I will come back to this list and let you all know. Rowe Email address: adrian.rowe5@...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks for posting. The info sounds promising, but hopefully before the talking insulin pump becomes a reality, the US FDA will be scrapped and reformed , without the lobbiests and the drug companies corrupting the process. for your information Thank you Arnando for posting this Product Evaluationarticle, which compares both the SensoCard Plus and the new Prodigy Voice meters.
