Unfortunately, no. I still use the lifescan profile and the speech box that

is made for it. I love my profile and I know some on list hate it grin.

Cy:

there's definitely a market out there for a noninvasive blood glucose

monitor. The question is whether there's a sufficient market for a

talking one. Mind you, I think there'll be a growing market --

especially when diabetes is still the leading cause of blindness in this

country and we're apparently having the diabesity epidemic. But whether

the market is large enough at this moment to justify development of a

talking meter on a basis other than goodwill and altruism is in my view

a debatable proposition.

As for the meter itself, it's a lot more complex to try to get a good

signature for blood glucose than it is to read oxygen content. The

latter doesn't require dealing with infrared or visibile light

spectrophotometry. Ah well.

Usually, yes, but this one didn't have that option for some weird reason, at

least not that I nor the people at the pharmacy could find. So they just

gave me a new one and I have the old one for backup. My new one I've already

changed the setting back and forth between mmol/L and mg/dl just to make

sure it's working properly in that regard!

this non invasive monitor:

http://www.sugartrac.com/

blind diabetics, and sighted diabetics, went on a campaign sending over 1000 or

so emails from diabetics all over the world asking them to put in speech.

Last I heard from andrew, on list here, in the UK is he phoned and they said it

was to be FDA approved in 2005 this year and have speech in it.

Is still on list here from the UK? If so, have you heard anything else?

I'll forward a message just came in today from another list on this.

Mike

or so emails from diabetics all over the world asking them to put in speech.

> Last I heard from andrew, on list here, in the UK is he phoned and they said

it was to be FDA approved in 2005 this year and have speech in it.

Hi Sy, I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds here. Dennis bought some test

strips at the pharmacy. They told him if he could get his DR to write a

prescription for them they could refund the money he spent on them. So he

took his prescription in and was refunded. Now he will just have to pay a

co pay for them and our insurance company will cover the rest. Of course, I

suppose that depends on what insurance carrier you have. Hope that helps.

Hi Sy, I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds here. Dennis bought some test

strips at the pharmacy. They told him if he could get his DR to write a

prescription for them they could refund the money he spent on them. So he

took his prescription in and was refunded. Now he will just have to pay a

co pay for them and our insurance company will cover the rest. Of course, I

suppose that depends on what insurance carrier you have. Hope that helps.

Hi Connie,

No, you are not out of bounds at all.

My wife, Crystal, works for Wal-Mart and the insurance plan she has does

not cover the diabetic supplies such as strips. It does cover the oral

medicine with her co-pay. When the time to review her insurance comes

around in October we are going to take a very close look at all of the

options.

Take care and always good to hear from you..

Cy, the Ancient okie...
