The
Prodigy is a talking blood glucose meter from Taiwan. Truly tiny, it measures
3-7/8 inches x 1-3/4 inches x 15/16 inch. It talks: the meter incorporates speech
synthesis. The Prodigy’s screen is clear and bright, and screen numbers
are 5/8 inch tall.
The meter uses “state-of-the-art” capillary action, touchable test strips (no “hanging drop of blood”) and tests across a 20 mg/dl to 600 mg/dl range, with a tiny (0.6 µl) blood sample.
The Prodigy meter is available, right now. The meter costs $30.99, and a box
of 50 strips costs $18.95. Order five boxes of strips, and the meter is free.
Medicare beneficiaries who have met their deductible can get the meter and supplies
for free. It has already been FDA-approved. The supplier is: Diagnostic Devices,
