Be careful with these meters. Lots of them aren’t accessable themselves, and the ones I’ve tried only send the results of the test to your phone. If there is an error, for example,you are stuck-the error messages don’t get sent to the phone. Oh, and lots need a sighted person to set them up.
Because of all this, I am now using the prodigy voice meter and paying for the strips out of my own pocket because that meter isn’t available here in Canada. I have also written to the people who make the qardio products asking them to please consider making a glucose meter that works with the i phone similar to their wonderful scale and blood pressure meter! hah, Caitlyn > On Jan 16, 2017, at 9:55 AM, Gerard Doody <jerrydood...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I also heard about the ne > On Jan 15, 2017, at 2:53 pm, John JD Denning <jdenning1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks everybody for your comments.
