Hi Dean,

Sometimes when I put the strip in the right way it won't talk.

Oh. I bought my Prodigy Voice from Blind Mice Mart and paid 85 bucks for

it. I bet I was ripped off. But I was new, I needed it right away and all

of this other happy stuff.

I really don't know what the cost of the PV is at the retail level. IF you are

on Medicare, you are entitled to a meter every so many years. I think most

insurance plans cover the cost of a meter also.

I am on Medicaid and it goes through Total Health Care. I got my diabetic

supplies through CCS finally but when I first found out they said Total only

covered the True Trax strips. got the True Test meter and my son had

to take the strips back and exchange them because they were True Trax not

True Test.

Dr. had to sign for my Prodigy Voice stuff because I needed a meter

that would talk.

But I bought the meter. If anything happens in the future I will try to get

it covered. But it seemed to be more important at the time to just get it

and start learning to test than to wait for weeks and weeks to get paper

work done. I found out I was diabetic on June 13 and got my first shipment

from CCS on July 24. I bought 50 strips and 100 lancets from 's

Pharmacy locally and it was a good thing too because when came home

from the hospital with insulin we had to test him and so we used my Prodigy

before he got his meter and strips and stuff through Total Health Care.

Now we have our own separate ones but I was able to cover for him until his

came.

I just started my last bottle of strips the other day and should be getting

the new ones today so I am a bit ahead now.
