THE CONSUMER SUBSEQUENTLY EXPERIENCED A HYPOGLYCEMIC EVENT, WHICH DID REQUIRE MEDICAL INTERVENTION. WHEN THE EMTS ARRIVED THEY TESTED THE CONSUMER GETTING A RESULT OF 23 MG/DL.

DURING THE CALL TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE CONSUMER DOES NOT CONTROL SOLUTION TEST FOR INTEGRITY BEFORE USING THEIR INITIAL TEST STRIPS AS INSTRUCTED IN OUR DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
