I wrote
last month about my diabetes diagnosis this year and my
difficult choice to wear a proprietary device (called a
CGM) on my arm 24/7
to continuously monitor my glucose levels. Like my friend and colleague,
Karen M. Sandler — who previously made a much higher-stakes choice to
receive a proprietary implanted defibrillator to keep her safe given her
genetic heart condition — I reluctantly chose to attach proprietary
hardware and software to my body.
I work in health insurance and we get heads up when crazy shit happens we need to be ready to deal with and BOY was this big one!
The TLDR of this is abbot knows they fucked up really bad. They also know which sensors are fucked. They have a website you can use to look up if yours is affected. They will send you a replacement for free. They are also praying to corporate Jesus nobody sues but we all know that’s coming anyway.
