What the Latest CGM Recall Means for Patients and Why Continuous Glucose Monitors Are Still Valuable
Continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, have transformed how people manage their blood sugar by providing real-time glucose readings and trends. Recently, the FDA announced a recall affecting two lots of Freestyle Libre 3 and Freestyle Libre 3 Plus sensors. While recalls are always important to take seriously, this does not diminish the overall value of CGMs in managing metabolic health.
What Patients Should Know
If you are using a Freestyle Libre 3 or Libre 3 Plus, visit www.FreeStyleCheck.com
to confirm whether your sensor is affected. If your sensor is listed as potentially impacted, you should immediately stop using it and dispose of the device. A replacement sensor can be requested at no cost through the FreeStyleCheck website.
Even with a CGM, it is always important to confirm readings when they do not match how you feel. Finger stick glucose measurements remain the most reliable method to make treatment decisions. For those who need a meter, we offer Keto-Mojo connected glucometers that provide accurate readings and integrate with your health tracking.
Why CGMs Are Still Valuable
Continuous glucose monitors provide insight that traditional glucose testing cannot. They help detect trends, identify patterns in response to meals or activity, and support proactive management of blood sugar. Occasional device recalls should not discourage patients from using CGMs. With proper verification and awareness of updates, CGMs remain a powerful tool for metabolic health.
