Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 The stupid machine is very temperature sensitive. It gets the least bit cold or warm and you get that error. this occurs even when it is not always too warm or too cold. another problem with the Voice Mate. Voicemate Question Hi Everyone When checking my blood this morning I got a temperture error warning and this is a new one for me but after letting sit for a minute after putting my strip and lancette back I turned it back on and it seemed to work fine so does anyone know what that error was for Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Believe me, Bob, if you live in a cold area, you will hear it a lot! I always used to get it here in CA because I carried around in the car and it always overheated. the ONe touch does not say it, but according to the diabetic educator, it gets temperature errors too-it just doesn't say it, but the glucose level wil not be right.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 , How much does temperature throw off these meters? Does heat cause them to read one way and cold the other? This may put a new light on several things I have noticed over the past few months. Thanks much for all of your advice and the sharing of your and others experiences. It sure does help because the more you learn the better equipped you are to analyze new situations which often come along when dealing with Diabetes. Cy, the Ancient One & Grady...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Supposedly, the Voice Mate says " temperature error " when the air is below 70 degrees and above 85. However, this does not always hold true and I have found that when it says it often when it is not true, there is usually something else wrong with the machine and you need to call and complain.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Nurse , Back to the real question, does the temperature also make the readings inaccurate or has anyone determined this? Cy, the Ancient One & Grady. P.S. Had I paid more attention to my Grandfather I would have been called Dr. Clarence Yaholar Selfridge. He was the (for real) chief Medicine Man for the Muskogee Creek Nation. My father's name was Clarence Yaholar Selfridge but, in the early 1900s it was very unpopular to be an American Indian so he changed his name when he became of age in 1921. Everyone called him " C.Y. " anyway) I can also assure you that Grandfather did not dress in either whites or wear skulls around his neck. His knowledge of herbs, plants, insects and such was truly phenomenal. It is a real shame that much of his knowledge was lost. His brother was not nearly the source of information that Grandfather was. In fact, Rubin would probably fit the term " Quack " to a tee.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 It doesn't read at all when it says " temperature " . You have to turn it off and let it do it's own adjusting before yo can complete the test. Very agrevatting.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Sometimes I machine will give two different readings. For example, I can take it and it will say 120 and a minute later it might say 100. So you really don't know which reading to believe.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 that's why they need to change the machine so it wil tell you if there is not enough blood. Supposedly they will be coming out with an improved Voice Mate after the new year. Re: Voicemate Question Sometimes I machine will give two different readings.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi , How goes it in OKC? What machine do you have? Crystal uses the Ultra Smart and it seems to work fairly well. She also has the Ultra One Touch and an Elite. The Elite consistently gives lower reading by about 10%. The Ultras are within three or four point of each other. If we get a really screwy reading Crystal will use another meter to see what is going on. Sometimes she discovers that the first machine was right on (oops! - frowney face) I have threatened her with either or and she looks very contrite. I told her that I had investigated and found that she was an iron **** retired Army Nurse who was feared by all during WW II. I also told her that I didn't even want to talk about since he was so fatigued with the new arrival. Cy, the honest and reliable Ancient One & Grady...
