If you or a loved one are an insulin-dependent diabetic, you know how critical accurate blood glucose readings are to maintaining good health. Unfortunately, for millions of people relying on FreeStyle Libre 3 or FreeStyle Libre 3+ glucose sensors, the very devices meant to support their health may have instead put their health at risk.
Abbott Diabetes Care recently warned that a certain number of these sensors can malfunction and provide incorrect low glucose readings, leading users to believe their blood sugar is dangerously low when it is not. At least 735 people worldwide—including 57 in the United States—have experienced serious and potentially life-threatening complications after adjusting insulin dosages and food intake based on false low readings. Seven deaths have been reported globally, though none in the United States.
Caddell Reynolds Law Firm is now offering free case evaluations to those who may have been affected by this recall. If you or someone you love suffered complications potentially related to a malfunctioning FreeStyle Libre 3 or FreeStyle Libre 3+ glucose sensor, please contact our Arkansas attorneys at 866-314-3728 or by completing our online form to learn whether you may be entitled to compensation.

Complications potentially caused by malfunctioning sensors include:
Prolonged periods of elevated glucose can also contribute to long-term health issues affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system.
If you are currently using one of these sensors and did not receive a recall notice from Abbott, visit www.FreeStyleCheck.com to determine whether your device is among the nearly 3 million units affected.
If your sensor is part of the recall, Abbott recommends stopping its use immediately. However, if you or a loved one experienced complications that may be linked to a malfunctioning Freestyle Libre 3, our Arkansas attorneys strongly advise that you preserve the device rather than dispose of it, despite the company’s instructions to the contrary. Keep the sensor, its packaging, and any related materials in a safe place—these items will be important evidence if you choose to pursue a claim.
