An official ACCC notice concerns TRUEresult Blood Glucose Test Strip. If this occurs, the patient could experience undetected hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar), which may lead to improper treatment. Treatment based on false low readings can raise blood sugar levels further and lead to hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) that may require medical intervention. Published 2016-07-04.
What to do now
If you or someone you care for uses TRUEresult blood glucose test strips, please be aware of this issue. Check any unused test strips to see if they are from batch number KS1741, with expiry date 25/06/2018. The batch number is displayed at the bottom of the left side of the package.
