Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 The one that I have only tells you the result once, and tells you when it is time to place the sample, and the code currently being used. It is not nearly as accessible as the Prodigy. question about advocate meter Hi all, I was looking into a prodigy, but my doctor's office found an advocate meter locally. I may go check it out but wonder if anyone knows if it is a meter that talks everything for totally blind. They say it talks but I just can't trust people who may not know about these things. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Vicki Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi Vicki, I had an advocate meter and no it doesn't talk all the way. You have to have a sighted person set everything up for you. The time doesn't talk and you have to know what the code is on each box of strips are so you can change the code. I found that very difficult to do. I would still go with the Prodigy voice.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Where did you order it from? Did you go with one of the 2 companies Ruth has suggested? I didn't have to pay anything, and I believe that's how it was with others.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Dave Yes I got it from american wholesale. They had tried to get it through my doctor but got a note back that I had to get it from Massachusetts and there could be up to an eight week waiting time for insurance. I talked to soeone in the doctors office and they wanted to give me another meter, forget the name at the moment but it did not check out here as being fully accessible. So the best deal I could think of was buy the thing and use it along with my acucheck, which is working rather well right now. Tough decisions.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 When it comes up for me, I will likely be asking a lot of questions, so keep them coming.
