Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions A family member can set this up in one sitting using the manual, and the voice helps once it's running. It's not fully self-serve, because the language, control-solution checks and strip handling need to be learned first. It's also tied to one brand of strips. Someone with low vision may want a diabetes educator or care team to review the testing steps with them.

What it is

Summary

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

The Prodigy Autocode is a blood glucose meter that speaks, so you can hear your results instead of reading a small screen. At the start of each test it says the control number and the temperature, and it beeps when it has taken in enough blood. It needs only 0.6 microliters per test, holds 450 results with 7- to 90-day averages, and can send results to a computer. The voice can be set to English, Spanish, French or Arabic. The meter works only with Prodigy Autocode QuickDraw test strips and Prodigy control solution, so you can't mix in other brands. The kit includes the meter, ten strips, control solution, a lancing device, a log book, a carrying case and 2 AAA batteries.
