Abbot Diabetic Test Strips Recalled Over False Low Blood Sugar Readings
This article is about the maker of the glucose test strips that diabetics use to monitor their blood sugar.There is an recall on about 359 million strips and they may present a false reading of low blood sugar.There is an defect in the strip and is limiting the amount of blood sugar that each can absorb.That can lead up to the people raising their blood glucose when it is unnecessary.They could also fail to treat there high blood glucose due to a false reading of there blood sugar.
My opinion of this article is that the company should test there products before they put it on the market.They should me tested by more than one person also.But they should also be more careful with there products and if they are real careless with the strips they should try another way for the people to check there blood sugar.If the people are getting a different strip reading everytime that is not good because the strips arent accurate and the people would be doing so many things for there sugar either taking to much sugar or having not enought of sugar.
