Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't think you can get any talking meters free can you? Ricky Joe I finally got my glucometor Hi to all: This is Terrie who has been fighting with the ministry since December. I finally got my glucometor. No, it was not through the ministry. It was through a totally different source. One I never expected in all my life. I went to the diabetic and lipid clinic and I was told that the diabetic nurse had some good news for me, and I said I could use some. They asked if I had a glucometor yet and I said " no. " So, Tamara said " Terrie, I have one that you can see. I told Tamara I wanted to see it. I asked if I could take it home. She laughed and said " No, but we can get you one. How? I asked? " We can get it for free with a cupon that we can run over to the drugstor for you. " And that was exactly what they did. I got it yesterday. So, there is always something we can do to work around the road blocks of the ministry. Terrie with Eunice, Shandar and Jade. So, I guess I won this war. I was nearly ready to appeal and I said No, there is a way to work around what you are not going to do. & , there was.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 There is a new one available, from Accucheck, in Canada at least, at a cost of $300. It is called the voice mate plus!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I haven't been payin attention to this thread, so forgive me if it has been addressed. But, has anyone heard anything about the European Sensocard (I am sure I am misspelling it). It is a meter about the size of a credit card that I think is manufactured in Poland. It is being used in the U.K. A friend has it and likes it a lot. I thought a couple of years ago it was in the review process with the FDA, but I have heard nothing in a very long time. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 The older Accu-Chek unit that works with the Advantage meter I believe is no longer being made. However, Accu-Chek has released a voice unit that works with the Compact Plus. This may only be available in Canada, however. If you're interested I can find the website that has more information about it.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Maybe I can bring some light to your questions regarding the Sensocard Plus blood meter. As many of you on this list know, I have been using this meter in England since before its first introduction to the British market around 2004, being I was involved with its initial trials. CDX, the company that marketed the Sensocard Plus, no longer distribute this meter, due to Bill Cunningham's wife having a serious illness. What I do know, he was involved in talks with the FDA in the States for some while, to obtain its licensing approval for the American market. As to what progress he was making towards this before selling his company, I am not sure. However, what I do know! Having known Bill, in the short time of our working relationship. If he hadn't sold his business, I do believe the Sensocard Plus meter would now be available on the American market, being it was his baby from the very beginning. The Sensocard Plus meter, is now distributed by BBI, in the UK. They can be contacted on the following: Postal Address: BBI Health Care, Unit A, Kestrel Way, Garngoch Industrial Estate, Gorseison, SWANSEA, SA4 9WN Wales. Telephone from outside the United Kingdom: +44 1792 229333 Email address: info@... I hope you find this information of some use. Rowe Email: adrian.rowe5@...
