Important Safety Notices

Recently I became aware of some important safety recalls on Lifescan diabetes testing products that I wanted to let you know about. The information can be found at www.lifescan.com. If you use Surestep test strips or One Touch Ultra test strips be sure to visit this web address to find out more information. The recall regarding the Surestep test strips was especially alarming to me because apparently the affected strips will give a falsely low reading when the blood sugar is greater than 400 mg/dL. With flu season here, a 400 mg/dL reading isn't completely far-fetched, so make sure you check your lot numbers on your strips to see if they are being recalled. If you are unsure where to find your lot number or have trouble accessing the website, call your Moye's pharmacist and they will be happy to assist you!
