Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi , I use the Voice Mate and find it easier to use than the One-Touch. It takes less blood and the comfort curve strips make it easy to find where the blood goes. My problem-with any glucose meter-is that I can hardly make myself bleed and it often takes several pokes to get enoguh blood for even the Voice mate. The Voice mate is bigger than the one touch and I hate carrying it around like another purse. If you do take it out, it is very temperature sensitive to heat or cold. voicemate. hi listers, I am sorry if this is off topic but, I remembered there being people hhere on the list saying that they had, or have used a voicemate. I was thinking of getting one, and wanted to find out more about this from somebody that has used one. thanks alot. charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hi . In Canada, we are only able to use the Voicemate on an experimental basis so far. Since beginning the programme last March, I have experienced more independence than ever before. Now, as soon as taking a reading, I know exactly what it is and how I should adjust eating to accommodate the sugar levels. I would be more than happy to tell you more about the Voicemate ... just E-mail me at my home E-mail address.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 I have been using the Voicemate for 3 or so years, and I am completely satisfied with how easy it makes using the Accuchek Advantage. To the best of my knowledge, the accuracy of the Advantage meter is as good as portable bg meters get. The comfort curve strips it uses are easy to get the sample on, and a bonus is that you never, that is never, have to clean the meter because the blood never touches the machine. I never need to use it, but the Voiemate has the capability to read the insulin bottle and tell you what type of insulin it is. If I could complain about anything, it is that the synth is a little large, perhaps 6in. x 3 in. x 3 in., and you can not download the readings from the particular meter I have. I happen to also have a newer Advantage and you can download the readings. This newer meter is shaped slightly different and will not plug into the Voicemate. However, my guess is that the newer Voicemates will have the newer meter. Dave Re: voicemate. > Hi . In Canada, we are only able to use the Voicemate on an > experimental basis so far.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I just got this meter! I heard that they have two different soft ware packages, though. One is free and the other costs $30. Not to mention the cable which is another $20. Has anyone used the soft ware, and which one is most accessible with Jaws? visit the AnimalCommunicationsList http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AnimalCommunicationsList Checked for viruses by AVG version 6.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 I found a freeware program that I use to print my readings out for my endo. I could attach it to an email to you privately, but there are probably a number of freeware programs pout there I would imagine. I managed to get the cable for free from the local representative, but don't know if you would be able to have the same experience. The program I use is accessible I believe, but I really don't have much experience with it since I only use it to print out my readings. Dave Re: voicemate. > I just got this meter!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hello, , Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. Hope you are okay now. yes, I didn't understand what you meant. I often buy the Parrot Plus Voice mate for my clients-and I have one myself. It does cost over $200, but is still cheaper than a Braille Light. You can keep memos on i, appointments, phone number and it has a calculator too! They are available thgough maxi Aids and can come with a cable so you can download your informatin int the computer.
