The FDA and Abbott warned that some FreeStyle Libre 3 continuous glucose monitoring sensors can produce falsely low glucose readings, a problem linked to seven deaths and 736 serious injuries. Abbott said all seven deaths occurred outside the U.S., 57 of the 736 injuries were reported in the U.S., about 1.5 million of roughly 3 million affected sensors are estimated to have already expired or been used, and users should immediately stop using and dispose of affected lots, verify lot numbers at FreeStyleCheck.com, and request free replacements.
