Hi Melisa,

The end of the strip with the slot goes into the meter the indented side up,

the smooth side down.

The meter has a port much like an earphone slot on the side for the cable.

Lay the meter on a table with the slanted end to the left, the port for the

cable should be on the side next to you. You should be able to feel it. I

think my cable is a seriel not USB.

have heard it doesn't work well with jfw, but could I hook it up to

my work computer and use the Braille focus to review readings?

The end of ths trip with the indent goes in-the indent goes up. When you

put it in correctly, it immediately plays music. If it does play, then turn

it over. By the way, that alos turns on the machine, so you do not need to

turn it on or off. I don't know where the cable goes, however.

Two questions about the Prodigy

Just got the Prodigy meter and have two questions. First which end of strip

goes in the meter? Also, where does the usb cable plug into on the meter?

Thanks.

There is no earphone jack on the meter, and the cable does not come with the

machine.

JFW does not work very well with the software. You can get the software and

cable at the following web site along with

contact information. For the software wack enter on the Data Management

link.

To bad it doesn't have an earphone jack. I indenede to use it at work.

Anyway, it looks like it takes two aa batteries. Am I right about that?

Also, thereis a button inside the battery compartment that changes some type

of settings. Is that anything I'll need?

The buttons inside the battery compartment are the buttons to set the time

and date-along with a mode key, but I don't know shich one is which. This

is a negative thing about this machine-you need a sighted person to do that.

Well, you may have Woolfisms but I find that I am without excuses. (sad

face)

My children just look at me and smile. I think this may be a bad sign. (LOL)

The reason I pointed this out was when I read the message JAWS did its usual

job of pronunciation and " shich " is not exactly what I thought you said.

, The meter to purchase is either the Prodigy or to wait until the

other new one comes out as either of these 2 meters are the newer

technology. If you are interested in a Prodigy, you can e-mail:

plawolf@earthlink and we can send you one, although I don't yet know what

thshipping would cost.

Re: Two questions about the Prodigy

Hi

Where do you purchase the accucheck meter? Can the manufacturer send it to

any country, because I live in South africa?

If you want the Prodigy, we can ship it from California. It either $85

American for ammeter, control solution, lancing device, and a bottle of

stirips or $100 for 5 bottles of strips and a free meter-plus shipping. I

really like the Prodigy, but I understand the new Sensocard-whenever it will

come out-is more accessibleAS a private vendor, we can send Braille

instructions as well as put a Braille label on each bottle of strips so you

know the code number.

Hi Petricia

I do not know anyone who is blind and has diabetes in England. Is there an

blind diabetic list that one can subscribe to in england or a producer in

england that has a website that sells the metre?

I heard that England started there own FTP site is that true and if so do you

have an website address, because they will maybe have an diabetic mainling list.

Thanks for all the information.

There is a man on this list who is from England. I don't have his direct

e-mail address. All we can hope for is that he will see these messages and

answer you! I don't know anything about England list serves, sorry!I am

from California.

I believe that was referring to me being the only diabetic on this

list

who comes from England.

Regarding your two questions that you were asking:

Firstly, I am not sure what the initials FTC stand for, but if it is

referring to a diabetic Email group in England, to my knowledge, this is the

only Email group of its kind for the blind.

As to your other question about the Prodigy meter, it is not available over

here. However, the only blood testing meter for blind diabetics that is

available in England, is the Sensocard Plus meter. This meter is still

undergoing valuation with the FDA in the States. As and when it will be

going on the American market, I am unable to answer that question!

Not knowing which part of the world you come from, the only thing I can

suggest you can do is,send an Email to Bill Cunningham. Although he is not

directly marketing the Sensocard plus Meter any more. However, he still

should be

able to help you, or direct you to the new company who are now dealing with

the marketing of the

Sensocard Plus.

His Email details are:

bcdx@...

I hope this has been some help to you. If you would like to contact me off

list, to obtain more information,please feel free to do so.

My Email address is:

adrian5@...
