  • Check if your sensor's serial number matches the recalled list on Abbott's website or FDA notice
  • Stop using any recalled sensor immediately
  • Switch to an alternative glucose monitoring method until you receive a replacement
  • Contact Abbott customer service for a free replacement sensor
  • Speak with your doctor if you need temporary guidance on glucose monitoring
