Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Pat, Not that I am aware of. Last I heard, the software was in to the FDA for approval.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 When I got home from work last night the meter started working again. I will keep this info for the future and see if the place where I get my strips, etc. offer the Voice. I used to get my strips, etc. from a local pharmacy but I guess they got tired of trying to keep fresh strips for all the different brands of meters. so they links us up with Heritage Diabetic in NC.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Medicare has durable medical coverage I believe. Strips and all the accessories are durable medical. Medicare will probably say they cover 80%, but as I mentioned before, ask your supplier (for example, Advanced Diabetic Solutions), to write off the 20%. This is what I've found has worked for me. Don't be afraid to ask ADS (or any other supplier) how to deal with this.
