Good morning!

I've finally gotten the Prodigy Voice meter sold through te Indepencence
Market at NFB. The user's manual online was very helpful in explaining how
to set up and use the buttons on the meter but I need just a little help
with the lancing device.

Can anyone tell me how best to familiarize myself with this device. I
haven't had enough practice in testing my self because my A1C hasn't been a
problem but it did rise a little per the results my lab work last month. I
forget if turning te cap left or right makes the stick lighter or stronger.

I usually set it to the lighter side since the blood is easy to get.

I thank God it hasn't been up enough that I need to test frequently but I
want to monitor it so that I can keep it under control while I can.

Thanks.

Hi Anita:

If I'm not mistaken I think if you turn it to the right it will bring
more blood. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but when I have tested
myself and I turned it to the right I have gotten more blood than I
needed. But I could be mistaken too. Hope this helps!

Anita:

Here's where a bit of experimentation works wonders. Poke yourself a bunch
of times, turning the adjustment this way and that. I think you'll find
that, holding the lancet device in your left hand with the lancet end
pointing right, turning the adjustment clockwise increases the penetration
of the lancet and turning the adjustment counterclockwise lessens the
penetration. But some lancet devices work the opposite so the best advice I
can give you is to try it and see! No pain no gain!

Good luck!

Mike Freeman

hello I am very happy for you
you picked a great meeter I have been using it for about nine years I love 
it
your question about the lanset turning the cap all it does is makes the 
neetle longer or shorter
the shorter  the neetle is that stops the neetle from going in to your 
finger so deep
just remember the lower the number on the cap the softer it is
turn the cap to the right and that is the lower number if you are right 
handed turn it to the right ,if you are left handed turn it to the left for 
softer
just adjust it to your how it  feels to you

just remember to use all your fingers

just one point the amount of blood that comes out of your finger  has a lot 
to do with you
some people bleed easier then other people
like me I do not bleed well at all I have to squeeze my finger hard to get 
one drop

I think you are correct.  Turning it clockwise will tend to bring out more 
blood.  It is hard to get me to bleed, sometimes I think my blood must be 
the consistency of pea soup, so I feel it necessary to crank up the device 
to the most intense level.

It's a pain, pardon the rather inane pun, but just clean the puncture af and 
remember to use a different finger every time you test.  I find the pain 
doesn't last long.

Message-ID: <000c01d1c73c$bce144a0$36a3cde0$@gmail.com>

Medicare has again changed the rules for getting diabetic test strips and
I'm looking for a provider. This seems like a good time to switch to the
Prodigy Voice meter as my vision continues to deteriorate.

 

I've contacted Arriva out of Florida and I've set up an initial order for
the Prodigy Autocode meter test strips. I know the Autocode meter is
different from the Prodigy Voice but since the strips will be the main cost
over time, I'm trying to determine whether these two meters use the same
test strips. If the Prodigy Autocode strips won't work in the Prodigy Voice
meter, I need to find this out as quickly as possible and cancel my order
with Arriva.

 

I know I probably should have gotten this information from the Arriva
enrollment person I spoke with but my experience after talking with several
of these Medicare-approved suppliers is that they are strong on trying to
sell you stuff that the government is paying for and weak on listening.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in clarifying whether the
Prodigy Voice and Autocode use the same test strips.

Hi Alan,

Yes, the Autocode strips work with the Prodigy Voice. No argument here with
your analysis of things.

The auto code strips do indeed work with the Prodigy Voice.  Just so you 
know, I canceled my account with Ariva for several reasons.  First of all, 
when it was time for me to order supplies, they would call me about twice a 
day and leave messages, which I found annoying and secondly, they were 
indeed much too strong on selling their products that Medicare would pay 
for, whether or not you needed that product.  For example, almost every time 
I talked with them, they tried hard to get me to purchase a knee brace, no 
matter how many times I told customer service that I did not need that 
brace.  I don't approve of that kind of hard selling.  I get my supplies 
from Benson's medical supplies, which also works with insurance and 
Medicare.

Hi Alan,

Yes, the Autocode strips work with the Prodigy Voice. No argument here with
your analysis of things.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Test Strips Used with Prodigy Voice Meter?

Medicare has again changed the rules for getting diabetic test strips and
I'm looking for a provider. This seems like a good time to switch to the
Prodigy Voice meter as my vision continues to deteriorate.



I've contacted Arriva out of Florida and I've set up an initial order for
the Prodigy Autocode meter test strips. I know the Autocode meter is
different from the Prodigy Voice but since the strips will be the main cost
over time, I'm trying to determine whether these two meters use the same
test strips. If the Prodigy Autocode strips won't work in the Prodigy Voice
meter, I need to find this out as quickly as possible and cancel my order
with Arriva.



I know I probably should have gotten this information from the Arriva
enrollment person I spoke with but my experience after talking with several
of these Medicare-approved suppliers is that they are strong on trying to
sell you stuff that the government is paying for and weak on listening.



Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in clarifying whether the
Prodigy Voice and Autocode use the same test strips.

Hello Bernie and NFB DAN Friends!

 

Bernie and I worked together at Prodigy in the past and as Bernie, said the
test strips do work with both the Prodigy Voice and the Prodigy Autocode
meters.

I am diabetic for over 40 years and I work in the diabetes industry too.  I
try to keep NFB DAM Members aware of the best place to buy diabetes
supplies.  I just found a mail order company  <http://www.expressmed.com/>
Expressmed.com that sells the Prodigy strips for $5.20 for a box of 50 . the
lowest I have ever seen. Their number is 877.822.2719. 

All the Best!

 

Jerry Munden, "Recipient of the 2011 NFB Bolotin Award"

Mark,

Thanks and I'm not sure if Arriva is going to work for me either. Speaking
of knee braces, the rep I spoke with today tried to sell me one of those and
then pitched a back brace when I said I wasn't interested. I'm not getting a
good feeling about them.

Many thanks to all who posted to answer my question. Now, I just need to
locate the lowest price online for a Prodigy Voice meter to use with those
Prodigy autocode strips when they arrive.

Good morning Alan.

Once again, burn here. As for buying the meter, the prodigy voice is the most accessible meter!! You can access the memory and set the time and date, anything else you might want to do with the meter. The AutoCode, however, is not fully accessible. As for purchasing the meter, the most inexpensive I have found is the NFB's independence market. If you would like that information, we can give it to you. It is at the national Center for the blind, 200 E. Wells St. Baltimore, MD 21230. You can call 410?6 59?9314. The menu will tell you which number to push for the independence market. I do not remember offhand. But, the meters are $50 for purchase from the independence market. At least, there, you will be assured that you will get a prodigy voice meter instead of something they send you because they tell you it's a talking meter. There talk is cheap. Just because they hear it talk does not mean it's something you're going to want. Believe me. I've seen too much of that experience with a lot of people!!. They have no clue. There is dizzy as the day is long. At least, here, at the Independence market we have experts regarding accessible technology for our products. Just so you know. Burn.

Hi, Alan,

Yes, that's exactly what happened to me almost every time I spoke with them. 
I don't approve of that kind of pushy selling and I certainly don't approve 
of companies that force their customer service employees to do it.  I've 
worked in that kind of atmosphere and it truly, truly sucks.  My advice is 
get away from them, I can give you the number for Benson's should you want 
it in the future, a much more reasonable company to work with.

Mark,

Thanks and I'm not sure if Arriva is going to work for me either. Speaking
of knee braces, the rep I spoke with today tried to sell me one of those and
then pitched a back brace when I said I wasn't interested. I'm not getting a
good feeling about them.

Alan

The auto code strips do indeed work with the Prodigy Voice.  Just so you
know, I canceled my account with Ariva for several reasons.  First of all,
when it was time for me to order supplies, they would call me about twice a
day and leave messages, which I found annoying and secondly, they were
indeed much too strong on selling their products that Medicare would pay
for, whether or not you needed that product.  For example, almost every time
I talked with them, they tried hard to get me to purchase a knee brace, no
matter how many times I told customer service that I did not need that
brace.  I don't approve of that kind of hard selling.  I get my supplies
from Benson's medical supplies, which also works with insurance and
Medicare.

Hi Alan,

Yes, the Autocode strips work with the Prodigy Voice. No argument here with
your analysis of things.

Medicare has again changed the rules for getting diabetic test strips and
I'm looking for a provider. This seems like a good time to switch to the
Prodigy Voice meter as my vision continues to deteriorate.



I've contacted Arriva out of Florida and I've set up an initial order for
the Prodigy Autocode meter test strips. I know the Autocode meter is
different from the Prodigy Voice but since the strips will be the main cost
over time, I'm trying to determine whether these two meters use the same
test strips. If the Prodigy Autocode strips won't work in the Prodigy Voice
meter, I need to find this out as quickly as possible and cancel my order
with Arriva.



I know I probably should have gotten this information from the Arriva
enrollment person I spoke with but my experience after talking with several
of these Medicare-approved suppliers is that they are strong on trying to
sell you stuff that the government is paying for and weak on listening.



Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in clarifying whether the
Prodigy Voice and Autocode use the same test strips.

I couldn't agree with you more.  I bought my present Prodigy Voice from 
Independence Market, and they immediately knew what I was talking about, 
quickly sent me the correct meter, everything.

Thanks for all who posted with info about the NFB Independence Market for purchasing a Prodigy Voice meter. I decided to get it from American Diabetes Wholesale at http://www.adwdiabetes.com/ who sells the Prodigy Voice system which includes the meter, carrying case, 2 triple A batteries, a lancing device, 10 lancets, 10 test strips, and control solution for $39.99. I also ordered a USB cable for $6.99 from ADW which connects to the meter and allows you to upload it to your computer using the Prodigy software.

The Prodigy software is *not* accessible and hasn't been updated for Windows
10 yet so your doctor's office may not be able to upload the results.
Besides, do you want all your low bg readings from insufficient blood to be
counted? I give my doc a *written* log and refuse to upload meter results.
(grin)

Thanks for all who posted with info about the NFB Independence Market for
purchasing a Prodigy Voice meter. I decided to get it from American Diabetes
Wholesale at http://www.adwdiabetes.com/ who sells the Prodigy Voice system
which includes the meter, carrying case, 2 triple A batteries, a lancing
device, 10 lancets, 10 test strips, and control solution for $39.99. I also
ordered a USB cable for $6.99 from ADW which connects to the meter and
allows you to upload it to your computer using the Prodigy software.

Good morning Alan.

Once again, burn here. As for buying the meter, the prodigy voice is the
most accessible meter!! You can access the memory and set the time and date,
anything else you might want to do with the meter. The AutoCode, however, is
not fully accessible. As for purchasing the meter, the most inexpensive I
have found is the NFB's independence market. If you would like that
information, we can give it to you. It is at the national Center for the
blind, 200 E. Wells St. Baltimore, MD 21230. You can call 410 6 59 9314. The
menu will tell you which number to push for the independence market. I do
not remember offhand. But, the meters are $50 for purchase from the
independence market. At least, there, you will be assured that you will get
a prodigy voice meter instead of something they send you because they tell
you it's a talking meter. There talk is cheap. Just because they hear it
talk does not mean it's something you're going to want. Believe me. I've
seen too much of that experience
  with a lot of people!!. They have no clue. There is dizzy as the day is
long. At least, here, at the Independence market we have experts regarding
accessible technology for our products. Just so you know. Burn.

There are a few of us using the Dexcom G5 mobile. I have had mine on for
just a week now. Yes it does work with VoiceOver. We can't look at the
complete graph of our readings because it's just a visual image. What we can
do is to open up the app and read the current number. The app updates every
five minutes. So it might say, 138 miligrams per deceleter and rising
slowly. You can set your own alarms so that it will alert you above a
certain number or below a certain number. Inserting the sensor seems like a
lot of steps the first time or two. My first week was a continuous tape
fight and I was also struggling a bit to remember to keep my iPhone with me.
I had some moments where I started to feel like the freedom I'd gained by
goin on a pump was lost by adding the Dexcom. But this second week seems to
be going better for me. I had no training help at all and am not terribly
impressed with the people on the phone so far. 
But I have learned a lot in my first week. According to my five finger
sticks a day, I was starting to get disappointed with my A1C results. Now
I'm seeing what's going on in between those sticks and now all I have to do
is to figure out how and what to adjust. <grin> 
But back to VoiceOver, you can calibrate your unit yourself; read the alerts
and get just as annoyed by all the alarms as everyone else. <grin> So if
you're interested, you'd get the Dexcom and then install the Dexcom G5 app
on your phone. There are other apps called Dexcom Clarity that are designed
to allow you to share your graphs with your doctor. You can also use the G5
mobile to share your results with anyone else who has the app on their
phone. So if you are troubled by frequent lows, you could, for instance have
a friend or relative also receive those notifications so that they could
contact you to make sure you're okay.
For now, my biggest complaint is trying to get the tap on without wrinkling
it. I've noticed the occasional unlabeled button and I hope I can find an
appropriate place to land that information. 
Anyway, there's a beginner's intro for you and I hope it helps.

The Prodigy Diabetes Management software I downloaded and installed last
week works well with my ZoomText Fusion software and all its controls are
accessible to me on my Win 7 computer. I'll know more how it works after I
receive my Prodigy Voice in a couple of days and begin uploading test
results to it.

I'm not familiar with the low BG scores due to insufficient blood but I'm
inferring that's a problem with the Prodigy voice so thanks for the tip and
I'll be careful to ensure I get enough blood to the strip. I'm also testing
6 times a day so getting a log uploaded to software so it can produce the
logbooks Medicare requires to pay for more than the usual 3 strips a day
will save me a lot of time required by manual report generation.

The Prodigy software is *not* accessible and hasn't been updated for Windows
10 yet so your doctor's office may not be able to upload the results.
Besides, do you want all your low bg readings from insufficient blood to be
counted? I give my doc a *written* log and refuse to upload meter results.

Thanks for all who posted with info about the NFB Independence Market for
purchasing a Prodigy Voice meter. I decided to get it from American Diabetes
Wholesale at http://www.adwdiabetes.com/ who sells the Prodigy Voice system
which includes the meter, carrying case, 2 triple A batteries, a lancing
device, 10 lancets, 10 test strips, and control solution for $39.99. I also
ordered a USB cable for $6.99 from ADW which connects to the meter and
allows you to upload it to your computer using the Prodigy software.

Good morning Alan.

Once again, burn here. As for buying the meter, the prodigy voice is the
most accessible meter!! You can access the memory and set the time and date,
anything else you might want to do with the meter. The AutoCode, however, is
not fully accessible. As for purchasing the meter, the most inexpensive I
have found is the NFB's independence market. If you would like that
information, we can give it to you. It is at the national Center for the
blind, 200 E. Wells St. Baltimore, MD 21230. You can call 410 6 59 9314. The
menu will tell you which number to push for the independence market. I do
not remember offhand. But, the meters are $50 for purchase from the
independence market. At least, there, you will be assured that you will get
a prodigy voice meter instead of something they send you because they tell
you it's a talking meter. There talk is cheap. Just because they hear it
talk does not mean it's something you're going to want. Believe me. I've
seen too much of that experience
  with a lot of people!!. They have no clue. There is dizzy as the day is
long. At least, here, at the Independence market we have experts regarding
accessible technology for our products. Just so you know. Burn.

David, 

The Dexcom G5 Mobile system works great using Voice Over on an iPhone. I use it every day.

              I understand that the Dexcom continuous glucose monitor can be paired with an iPhone.  However, I don't know if it works well with Voice Over on the iPhone.  Has anyone had experience with this and, if so, can you tell me how well it works with Voice Over?  Thanks.

What you will get is a voice prompt that says, "Your blood sample is not

You may also get a reading that is wildly out-of-range, i.e., that makes no
sense. Just test again. Although few admit it, this happens to sighted
meter-readers also.

device, 10 lancets, 10 test strips, and control solution for $39.99. I also
ordered a USB cable for $6.99 from ADW which connects to the meter and
allows you to upload it to your computer using the Prodigy software.

Good morning Alan.

Once again, burn here. As for buying the meter, the prodigy voice is the
most accessible meter!! You can access the memory and set the time and date,
anything else you might want to do with the meter. The AutoCode, however, is
not fully accessible. As for purchasing the meter, the most inexpensive I
have found is the NFB's independence market. If you would like that
information, we can give it to you. It is at the national Center for the
blind, 200 E. Wells St. Baltimore, MD 21230. You can call 410 6 59 9314. The
menu will tell you which number to push for the independence market. I do
not remember offhand. But, the meters are $50 for purchase from the
independence market. At least, there, you will be assured that you will get
a prodigy voice meter instead of something they send you because they tell
you it's a talking meter. There talk is cheap. Just because they hear it
talk does not mean it's something you're going to want. Believe me. I've
seen too much of that experience
  with a lot of people!!. They have no clue. There is dizzy as the day is
long. At least, here, at the Independence market we have experts regarding
accessible technology for our products. Just so you know. Burn.

Hello David,

the Dexcom G5 works very well with voiceover on the iPhone. Dexcom is even making accessibility improvements as they are developing the app. It is great.

Mike I would like to hear more about the issues that will be discussed at the seminar. I will not be at the NFB convention so is there any way to get a recording or summary of the seminar. I would like to hear more ideas that will help me to conduct the NFB of Oregon Diabetes division. Any suggestions and information you can give me will be very helpful.

 Jerry

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Prodigy Voice
Message-ID: <3B587184B56C47F3AB3E70B8F05DF82A@MastersPC>

I know a number of places where I can buy a Prodigy voice glucometer and 
strips but I recently signed up for AARP Medicare Complete which is to pay 
for all diabetic testing supplies. But I have to find somewhere that accepts 
that insurance that carries those supplies.

so does anyone on the list have that insurance and get the Prodigy Voice and 
strips from a brick and mortar store or from mail order? The insurance 
company can tell me who will accept the insurance but can't tell me who 
carries those products.

Thanks,
Dean
