[QUOTE="TuviaDror, post: 1925660, member: 495267"] Tim, First off, thx for your detailed and VERY informative reply. Your perception is very well backed and seems to be very well educated. Per the points you made it, you are correct. The device [B][U]DOESN'T[/U][/B] have to work for everyone. Its fine even if it works for just 10% of the target audience. However, for those that it doesn't work on it must give an indication. It cannot mislead them by providing a measure which is erroneous without providing a warning message. The FDA is extremely careful with that and 100% unforgiving- with diabetes it can be dangerous giving too high a bolus.... Per the warnings they provide- unfortunately they do provide a ton of potential warnings but, at the same time, they are missing many conditions they should have reported "[I]we can't measure accurately and are off by more than 20% potentially..[/I]". They are missing them primarily, in my opinion, due to the fact that they are not comparing to a finger BG test every so often (as their competition do). Finally, as you saw, a considerable subset of users became aware of the flawed reporting on our own and stopped using the libre. The concern is that there is a remaining less educated subset of users who are unaware of the flaud reporting and can be thus be prone to mal treatment (wrong boluses). This is not acceptable, especially since all that has to be done to take care of this is to incorporate finger BG tests. I believe the FDA is aware of this, of the risks due to non incorporating the finger BG tests, and i hope they will react in a way that will prevent unjustified harm from a non-negligible proportion of diabetics WW. Thx again for sharing with us your perspective. So far it seems like there are many who had similar experiences to mine (see also the USA site post) and Im sure soon Abbott will react appropriately.
