Re: Talking B/G meter that requires no blood?

[Guest guest]

I think you may be talking about the Embrace glucose meter.

Yes, it does have speech - but - to my knowledge you can not review your

history or get it to repeat your readings.

This nonsense about not having to prick your finger is not necessarily a new

thought. You can prick your arm but the results may not be as good or

reliable as your fingers. Also, some blind folks have had problems locating

the prick spot on their arm after pricking and getting the test strip where

it needs to be in order to draw the blood.

So far as I know the Prodigy and Solo are the only two meters which actually

are accessible.

Subject: Talking B/G meter that requires no blood?

While watching the Niagara Falls tightwire walk this week, a commercial came

on talking about a talking blood-glucose meter that does not require

pricking one's self and drawing any blood. Is this thing for real?

Does anyone know anything about this thing, and is it worth pursuing?

As far as I know, there are no non-invasive meters on the market. It's a subject

that springs to life every so often, but so far, with no meter available to the

public. Lots of big money involved, with the big players who market and sell

strips standing to lose millions and millions if a non-invasive meter were to

become available.

her in 13 years, not since that party...

But she doesn't recognize him. Can he stay out of her way? Will she suddenly

remember?

The past may be the past, but lives in the present. And so does Hallie.

may think he wants to keep his life simple, but since seeing Hallie again,

his world is turned upside down.
