I got an email from the VA to stop using a certain lot number and I had some of them. They replaced them for me free. One day before the email I had the monitor alert me to a 60 BSL. It didn't feel like I was that low. I got out my pin prick meter and it was about 90 points higher. From now on if it reads too high or low I check with the pin prick meter first. It's always best to be safe then sorry.
