Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Mark, What do you do with the strips and lancets and the lancet device and also the control solution? Sharon about prodigy, I'm sorry to bring this up again, I almost got it a few months ago and I think now is the time. Am I right in assuming that if one is totally blind they get the more expensive one, and if they have partial vission, they can use the other? I'm totally blind and I don't want to end up with the wrong one, but the person I talked to seemed to think anyone can use the lesser price one, as they " both talk. " I just want a full-functioning meter, and am trying to get it through my doctor, but if not I don't want to save money unless of course it's no big deal. Please forgive this further question, I guess I have been somewhat following the discussions but not real closely sometimes. Vicki today we are problem conscious, not power conscious.--Dr. J.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I planned to do this very thing! I usually end up carrying it in my breast pocket, and stashing the lancet device and strip bottle in my other pockets. I hope this is fixed in some future update. It would really be nice if they would swap the future updated/improved meter with this older one with the design flaw.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You don't need to take the control solution with you. You only need to use that occasionally. You could also just stash a few strips in a zip-lock bag, and you'll just need to find some place to put the lancet device.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi Sharon, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you; I've been away for a week. While on vacation I put the Prodigy and supplies, along with my insulin and supplies, in a soft sided zipper bag and drop it into my back pack. The back pack is my carry-on when I fly. If I'm just out for a day I put all of this stuff in a fanny pack. Mark about prodigy, I'm sorry to bring this up again, I almost got it a few months ago and I think now is the time.
