Setup with instructions A person can use this meter without a professional, but a first-time user needs a guided walk-through. There are several steps to learn: setting up the meter, using the lancing device, checking with control solution, and testing. Following the manual or having a family member or diabetes educator show you gets most people testing on their own in about 30 minutes.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Prodigy AutoCode is a blood glucose meter that speaks your result aloud in English or Spanish, and it also shows the number on a large LCD screen. It needs no coding, gives a reading in about 7 seconds from a small blood sample, and can test at sites other than the fingertip, such as the forearm or thigh. The meter holds 120 results with date and time and works out 7, 14, and 28 day averages. This kit has what you need to start testing: the meter, a lancing device, lancets, control solution, a carrying case, a log book, and 10 test strips, plus a bonus bottle of 50 strips. It's a good fit for someone with diabetes who can't read a standard meter display. Talking mode switches off for privacy. If you want to move results to a computer, you'll need to download the maker's free software and buy a mini-USB cable separately.
