Guest guest Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks for the welcome, and Becky. I'm Lynn Shields husband, she's also a recent member of this list. My meter is a voice mate accucheck. It's a beast to take with you when you travel. I've just ordered the Prodigy no code. That's the meter that Lynn uses. Humana which is my insurance only pays for that talking meter. I really wanted the Prodigy Voice, guess I'll have to brake down and buy one some day. The thing I have trouble staying away from is ice cream. That's my weakness. Fortunately for no sugar added ice cream. But it still has carbs.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 , welcome to the group. I know what you mean about ice cream but I haven't had it in about 3 years now.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I never established a limit on icecream and I believe that is waht turned me from a drug type2 diabetic into an insulin dependent type2 diabetic.btw how many grams of carbs do you consume in your icecream at a single setting.I could easily eat a half gallon of regular icecream, my favorite treat.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't know how many carbs I consume with the amount of ice cream I eat. I try to limit my self to just one bowl. But before I became a diabetic, I could eat at least a half gal an in two days. > I never established a limit on icecream and I believe that is waht turned me from a drug type2 diabetic into an insulin dependent type2 diabetic.btw how many grams of carbs do you consume in your icecream at a single setting.I could easily eat a half gallon of regular icecream, my favorite treat. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't know why you didn't get the Prodigy Voice. If you are entitled to a meter, you are entitled to a fully audible meter if you are blind or have a severe visual impairment. Are you buying it outright?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ice cream varies widely. I believe vanilla is the worst. Believe it or not, chocolate is probably the better choice if you're going to eat ice cream.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Oh Good, I got some single serving ice creams by Blue Bunny and Blue Bunny doesn't have much sugar from what I've been told. They even have the little spoon inside of the lid.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome . I am type 1 for 68 years. I use an insulin pump. Your weakness is ice cream, mine are potato chips. So the only way they get in the house is if someone brings them! I never buy them. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Shields Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2012 1:10 PM To: Blind-diabetics Subject: Introduction, I'm Shields and am a type 2 diabetic and have been one for the past 6 years.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Our insurance humana doesn't pay for the prodigy voice. It does pay for the no code. So we'll get the strips and lansets, and then pay for the voice. With Lynns ordering on line, we should be able to get the voice at a pretty reasonable price.
