Questions about the prodigy meter

[Guest guest]

1. Has anyone compared test results using the new strips with some more

widely known meter such as the one touch ultra? I understand it is still

new. With the old strips there was at least one thread about poor test to

test results and someone giving up on the meter.

2. My particular insurance plan for medicare part b puts meters and strips

into the medical device category to be paid by medicare. Has anyone

experience with medicare in getting this meter and strips?

3. All talking meters I have tried, about 3, still makes it impossible to

know only after the fact if one has first enough blood, has found the stick

point, and has enough on/in the strip until after the fact. The price is

multiple sticks and wasted strips and untold frustration. How does this

meter, if at all, address these problems diferently? I last used an

accucheck.

Thanks.
