Diabetics need to be aware that certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitors have been found to give incorrectly low readings. At least 7 deaths and 860 injuries have been tied to the devices thus far.

If you use one of these devices, Abbott will replace it with a fixed one for free. But you have to apply to get a replacement.

@jalefkowit Curious if this is a hardware or software fault, how they discovered the problem, etc.

@arclight @jalefkowit sounds like a hardware fault since it was isolated to sensors from one of three production lines.

they're a bit short on specifics
