________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2007 08:51 To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Prodegy Autocode Glucometer [was] New Tool Review Good evening Cliff, Actually it was Suzy who put me onto the glucometer. Finding a source though turned out to be more challenging. Many places sell it but most through insurance companies. The hook is that you are stuck with their test strips. The next thing was finding someone who will send to Canada. I began buying from LS&S I think it is called Learning Sight and Sound or something like that but I can't use their Web site to order from Canada and their toll free number doesn't cross the boarder and it seems their Fax doesn't work either. Because they are only open when I work I now find it inconvenient to phone them on their regular number during my work day. I have just discovered that Independent Living Aides (ILA) now carry and sell the device to the individual consumer. There may be others. The glucometer is the Prodigy Autocode Talking Glucometer made by DDI (Diagnostic Devices Inc.). It uses only a tiny drop of blood usually taken from the finger but you can use other body parts just be aware that the capillary blood in other areas is a little different, I believe the consensus is about 15% but the Autocode is claimed to be useable for that. There is a slightly older version of the Prodigy Talking Glucometer so be sure you get the Autocode one. This is important otherwise you will have to enter a code number off of the container to calibrate the meter and you will need eyes for that. This unit is very small, it is not however perfect. There is a series of settings you can't do when you first set it up and possibly after you change batteries I am not sure, things like selecting the language, English or Spanish, which scale it uses, the British and Canadians and probably the rest of the world use Millimoles per litre The American scale is milligrams per decalitre, the temperature scale and setting the time. There are some other modes too and if you miss the announcement there is no way to make it repeat the display. Janet generally finds something to ask me or a pan to drop on the floor when the measure is announced. You will want a bottle of control to test the unit for calibration. Actually there should be two, don't know why this unit doesn't have that, usually you test high and low by using control solution of a known value. There is a cable which does not come with the unit and so far I have not been able to find anyone who sells it, it is a USB cable and some software to download up to 450 data samples to a computer. Sighted people can read this history data off of the screen but one would probably prefer computer download, I certainly would and will when I find a source for the cable. For more information try http://www.diagnosticdevicesinc.com/home.cfm?htmlFlag=1 <http://www.diagnosticdevicesinc.com/home.cfm?htmlFlag=1> LS&S is a little cheaper than ILA and it probably will work well enough for you. Hope this is helpful.

Could you give me the name of this meter? I own an older model which cost ten times that much, but it has developed problems and I thought I would check around for a more modern unit and hopefully one which will allow me to avoid sticking the fingers. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Leavens To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 9:13 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] New Tool Review Hi Tom, Surely there is a more convenient and economical way of doing this than an outboard synth? I mean, there will have to be some supporting electronics to drive a serial port already. If a tire gauge can talk for ten bucks and a glucometer for 30 bucks and a multifunction multimeter for 40 bucks and some of those clocks for under 20 bucks then how difficult can it be? Certainly there is a cost/volume issue and I expect he already has quite a bit tied up in current development and production.

His plan would be to add a serial port at a standard baud rate etc. so folks with speech enabled portable computers, BNS and the like should have no problem accessing it. He's a mechanical guy so depends on "chinese electrical engineers' and is struggling just to pay the bills, so much overhead isn't desirable Will keep you all posted as things move along. Tom P.S. don't have a BNS or similar, buy a doubletalk LT I'd push for a setup that'd hook directly to such a synthesizer. cause you can buy one right now.
