Hi Mike and all.

The Solo's readings have been higher these few days, but perhaps it's
because I wasn't watching myself like I should with eating.

I do like the hard case with the Solo, and tomorrow morning I'll test with
both meters to see how different they are.

Hi, Ken.

I'm not sure the Solo is really more accurate; the readings I've made were 
comparable. However, the Solo definitely does let you know when there isn't 
enough blood on the strip rather than one having to guess as with the 
Prodigy. However, in truth, as I have said previously, the end result is the

same: one has to test again no matter which meter one uses so the difference

isn't as significant as one might imagine. However, as I said, except for a 
few shortcomings, I like the Solo.
