>Distributed by Diagnostic Devices (DDI), Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina,
>Prodigy is a talking glucose meter. According to DDI, the Prodigy line of
>glucose meters all are "affordable, accurate, and easy-to-use."
>
>"Before Prodigy, patients needing an audible glucose report had to purchase
>an expensive [approximately $600], bulky and complex module for use with a
>personal computer," says DDI. The Prodigy talking meter is available through
>all Durable Medical Equipment providers. Patients can purchase a Prodigy
>talking meter for under $30.
>
>Prodigy AutoCode calibrates itself to Prodigy test strips automatically. In
>addition, Prodigy Duo combines the features of the Prodigy glucose meter
>with an easy-to-use, audible blood pressure monitor.
>
>"The convenience, affordable price, and superior accuracy of the Prodigy
>talking meters make them ideal for all persons with diabetes, and especially
>for those who are visually-impaired," says DDI. ".The Company already has
>been selling meters that speak English/Spanish and English/Portuguese, and
>is adding English/French meters to the product line in the near future."
