People with diabetes are being urged to check their blood glucose meters after a potentially dangerous fault was identified in two models. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said around 22,000 people use the One Touch Verio Pro and One Touch Verio IQ meters. Both models, used across the UK, are manufactured by LifeScan.

The MHRA said the Pro gives falsely low readings and the IQ turns off if a person has an extremely high reading. Read the full BBC News article HERE: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22112565

Thanks Kansenji, you beat me to it!

Just an update on this. The fault is only present in a limited number of monitors. These are:

OneTouch Verio Pro (serial numbers that start with RA, RB, RC, RD or RE) and the OneTouch Verio IQ (serial numbers that start with TA or TB)

If any of our members have one of these they should telephone LifeScan on 0800 279 9118 (UK) or 1800 535 676 (Ireland) and a replacement will be sent free of charge.
