  News Wire:
  Prodigy Diabetes Care synopsis

  The mission of Prodigy Diabetes Care is to bring the very best and most 
high tech products to market for blind and low-vision diabetics, giving them 
complete accessibility and total independence.

  Prodigy was the first to answer the call of the NFB, AFB and other blind 
associations several years ago with development and release of the fully 
audible Prodigy Voice. Prodigy is continuing to make accessibility a 
priority. Prodigy released on April 1 the new and improved Count-a-dose, a 
syringe filling system for the blind and low-vision diabetic. Prodigy is 
working on a "talking" pill bottle and, later this year, Prodigy plans to 
roll out the world's first and only fully audible insulin pump, giving blind 
and low-vision diabetics access to this diabetes management tool for the 
very first time.

  Prodigy, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is the only company producing 
diabetes testing equipment and supplies to be given access awards from both 
the NFB and AFB. Prodigy is in the process of completing its Charlotte-based 
manufacturing and assembly facility, which will make Prodigy products truly 
American made.
