New Tiny Talking Meter
Prodigy Meter
The Prodigy is a talking blood glucose meter from Taiwan. Truly tiny, it
measures
3-7/8 inches x 1-3/4 inches x 15/16 inch. It
talks: the meter incorporates speech
synthesis. The Prodigy's screen is clear and bright, and screen numbers are
5/8 inch tall.
The meter uses "state-of-the-art" capillary action, touchable test strips
(no "hanging drop of blood") and tests across a 20 mg/dl to 600 mg/dl range,
with a tiny (0.6
µl) blood sample.
The Prodigy meter is available, right now. The meter costs $30.99, and a box
of 50 strips costs $18.95. Order five boxes of strips, and the meter is
free. Medicare beneficiaries who have met their deductible can get the meter
and supplies for free.
It has already been FDA-approved. The supplier
