Re: confounding comparisons

I'm not sure what the percentage of difference the FDA allows for glucometers, I

think it's up to 20 percent.

I believe I said I was using A Prodigy audio meter. Well that was wrong it is

a Prodigy Auto Code meter. When you place the test strip in the machine it

signals a tune to let you know it is on. Then it anounces the room temperature

in Fairenheit degrees and shortly afterwards announces " please apply blood on to

the strip. A few seconds later it tells the glr number. This is my old meter.

The loaner meter is a One Touch Ultra, and it does not talk at all. Last night I

got the following glr's.

One Touch 67 and Prodigy Auto Code 98

Today:

One Touch 68 Prodigy Auto Code 91

One Touch 131 Prodigy Auto Code 130

One Touch 116 Prodigy Auto Code 132

Point differences read as follows:

31, 23, 1, 16

average point difference 17.75 with Prodigy Auto Code scoring almost 18 points

higher than One Touch Ultra

I believe this is a marked difference between the two meters.

I also use the autocode and find with some bottles of strips the numbers are

higher than with other bottles. So it seems at times the autocoding doesn't

work correctly all the time.

You folks using the Prodigy Autocode should look into getting a Prodigy Voice.

You might be entitled to a free upgrade if enough time has passed. Even if not,

I believe the PV is relatively inexpensive. Talk to your supplier and see. And

I'm not talking about Maxi Aids or Independent Living. Companies like Advanced

Diabetic Solutions and a few others.
