At least 38 companies now offer us meters that we can use to test our blood. I list and link them in my web page “Blood Glucose Meters,” Part 14 of the On-line Diabetes Resources. Almost all of those 38 companies sell their meters in the U.S., and most of them have several different met...

Wow, David! This is terrific news! My vision is getting more limited as life with my diabetes goes on, so this is a major GOD SEND!! I too, will be contacting BioSense ASAP to request one to try! The price of the meter and the strips are very reasonable...particularly for those of us who also live with a limited income!

Thank you!

Thats a very good report. All that technology for the price and the test strips are pretty inexspensive as well. a good combination!

One of my correspondents, a Certified Diabetes Educator, Ann Williams, Ph.D., R.N., wrote me directly:

"I just read your new review of the Solo V2 meter. Nice review!

"While at AADE, I learned that there is a third fully accessible talking meter on the market in the U.S. -- the Fora V-10. I don't have one, so have not played with it yet. It has the Taidok voice, and a few slightly different features from the others."

I haven't seen yet either. But the company's website for this product is http://www.foracare.com/usa/products-v10.html

Hi David

I am writing this from australia. We found your website very useful. I have 2 children with diabetes in Uruguay (i am originally from there). Both are blind because of the diabetes. This meter will change their lives dramatically. I wrote to the manufacturers to see if we can organise the delivery of the meter and the strips regularly. waiting for a response. Thanks for your great work!!
