From what I was told the strips were the problem so if you are using a different strip then you should be okay. Here is exactly what the note from Blue Cross said.
The us food and drug administration recently reported that false high blood sugar results might occur with blood glucose meters that test strips that use a technology known as GDH-PQQ. These false results occur only in patients receiving therapeutic products containing non-glucose sugars, used primarily by patients undergoing kidney dialysis. oru records indicate that Roche or Abbott products you currently use feature this type of technologyl
Although problems are rare, BCN believes the most prudent course of action is to avoid GDH-PQQ glucose test strips entirely.
