Hi Jen,

We are working on getting the Prodigy meter to Canada. You can thank all

the regulations and the bilingualism for the delays. If you are interested

you can get it covered at the end of the year by income tax or by Sun Life

insurance if you want it now. As for the strips, the problem would be the

chemical reagent in the strips which cannot wait until the strip is totally

full.

I've never used the Prodigy, but if it's like all the modern meters that

don't talk, it won't start counting down until there is enough blood. All

the meters I've used in recent years will time out or give an error message

if it does not detect enough blood. It seems that they should make talking

meters do the same, especially since people can't see if there's enough

blood on teh strip.
