[Diabetes-Talk] Returning List Member with Libre Question

[slery]

Lisa,

You may want to check if you have any of the recalled scensors. I had 
three that had to be replaced (one while using and the others because I 
looked them up and they were also part of the recall).

I would definitely wait to hear back from them and you may also want to 
call your pharmacy, perhaps ask to speak with a pharmacist. I certainly 
would not switch over this.
