Abbott Diabetes Care has begun a Class 1 recall (device correction) of its FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors based on users reporting situations where they were receiving erroneously high glucose results. “The inaccurate higher glucose values may lead to users calculating higher insulin bolus correctional doses based on inaccurate CGM glucose data,” a [recall notice](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfres/res.cfm?id=209214&ref=fdaweb.com) says. “The inaccurate higher glucose values may also contribute to missed or delayed recognition of hypoglycemia, when the sensor incorrectly reports normal or even high glucose values when the actual glucose is trending low or is low.” The notice says that FDA has determined the cause as being process design-related.
