Thanks Terry. This is the hard part, being patient waiting for an answer

from the government.

Hi Ruth:

This is Terrie out in Surrey British Columbia, Canada.

Hope all goes well and the way it is supposed to.

Keeping fingers crossed and toes as wellas everything else that doesn't have

arthritis in it, which is not much. So, can't keep fingers or toes crossed,

but can keep heart felt prayers going up to that big fellow up stairs. So

that is where they are going.

Any more prayer waroriers in Canada? Come on! Let's get together and start

praying or keep praying.

Terrie.

update on Prodigyin Canada

Hello,

It's been busy here. As you all know I also work for DDI as well as being a

blind diabetic who would like to see the Prodigy meter sold in Canada. So

first to avoid a conflict of interest I had to become a registered lobbyist

consultant. Then I made sure the National advocacy groups letters were

updated. So today, at last, I submitted all our letters to have the Prodigy

meters approved in Canada, sent in today. I also requested a phone

conference to help plead our case further. Now, it is just waiting to see

if they give us a meeting and consider all our requests. Thank you everyone

for all your support and letters. Keep your fingers crossed!
