Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi, Ruth, Glad to hear! I'm baffled at the information the customer service representative at Liberty Medical gave me, if you read my original message about this. She promptly suggested another " talking " meter called the " Embrace, " I believe it was. As far as I know, that meter has limited audible output. Is there any reason you know of as to why Liberty Medical would be shunning the Prodidgy meter?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Dave, When I first needed to find a place that did the diabetic supply thing, I started with Liberty. They were awful often making errors and trying to convince me to use their own particular supplies.IMO, they are snooks! _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of dave Bond Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 6:13 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Prodigy question Hi, Ruth, Glad to hear!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 So glad to hear from Ruth that this is not true! I'm just waiting for the new talking insulin pump. Any news on when that is coming out? _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 4:51 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Prodigy question So, they are discontinuing the Voice, and I suppose they are no longer going to make the strips either?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd be interested in hearing about the pump, too. I'm just in the process of getting a new one as the warranty on my Cozmo has expired. I've chosen the Animas Ping because I can at least read its screen with a strong magnifier (I can't read the scree on the Minimed at all!). But if a talking pump is on the horizon soon I would hold off to get that. Jen > > So glad to hear from Ruth that this is not true! > > I'm just waiting for the new talking insulin pump.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Pat, I hate to label anyone or any company for one experience, but I must say, for them to say what they said to me indeed puts them in the " snook " category! <smile> Dave -- Weather conditions on 3/19/2011 6:08:31 PM in Lancaster, Pennsylvania Clear, 52.0°F Wind:Variable at 6mph Join the BARD Talk list: bardtalk-subscribe Visit the BARD Talk web site: http://www.bardtalk.com Created by Weather Signature v1.32 . http://www.weathersig.com Prodigy question So, they are discontinuing the Voice, and I suppose they are no longer going to make the strips either? that the lifespan for a talking glucometer in the states is about 5 years.
