First, i was not notified of the freestyle test strip recall! when i found out last week ((b)(6) 2014), i phoned freestyle about why i could not get a refill for my (b)(6) daughter's test strips at (b)(4).(b)(4) said they were on back order but did not know why.They told me only certain lot numbers were affected and when i checked online, the 2 bottles i had left were not included in the recall so we kept using them.I was able to get a refill at another pharmacy.This morning, i checked my daughter's blood sugar with one of the old strips and it was 120.I then had her recheck with the new refill and it was 280 and a second test showed 260! that is over 100 points different!!! i had though she was having some great blood sugar readings but only a few were too low, so i had not been concerned until this morning with these readings with the new strips! i am afraid she will have a high a1c on her return appointment in (b)(6)! reason for use: type 1 diabetes.
