| Abbott meter replacement in Australia
My mum said that she received a letter (she is getting my mail for me while I am here in the US) from Abbott stating that they are sending a new Optium Xceed Meter as it has been found there can be a problem with the current one- when setting the time and date, it is possible for the unit of measure to be inadvertently changed.
For those in the US - the this is the Precision Xtra meter. Has anyone heard a similar thing here?
Now my brain got ticking (as it occasionally does) and here is my thought - does this mean i can actually force my (old) meter that reads in mmol to now read in mgdl or whatever it is? Cool. This is something that I actually wished all the meters would do anyway.
I can see why they are replacing them though - in guess you could get a nasty shock if you suddenly went from 5.5 to 140 or something and give yourself too much insulin! Saftey first for all the people who might not realise that it had changed.
