I have diabetes type I. Has HBA1c around 6.4% Was using the Freestyle lite for the several years or so to monitor my blood glucose.
Started using around 6 months ago the freestyle libre CBGM sensor
I discovered it reported BG levels lower than what they actually were, hence misleading me to not give bolus
The end result was my HBA1c got to 7.4%!!! Terrible :-(
Its all reported in the following two youtubes.
Pls view and act accordingly so that we can improve our monitoring. Its in our hands!
In order to help Abbott and the community understand the magnitude of the problem, I prepared two short YouTubes.
If you put in You tube Tuvia Kutscher you will find the two movies.
