VerioIQ recall notification for Canada and US
I just saw a headline on the rolling news station that my husband watches. It said something about a recall on a blood meter. I went online looking for more information. CTV news has issued a report on the recall.
It seems that the OneTouch Verio IQ meter has been recalled in Canada and the USA.
The company has announced that the meter will shut itself off if the blood glucose level reaches 56.8mmol/l
It will not give the usual warning of extremely high glucose levels. Once restarted, you must reset the time and date. If you retest, and the reading is still above 56.8mmol/l it will again shut down.
Go to either of the following links to find more information on this circumstance and how to go about
returning your meter for replacement.

March Break
Well it's March Break. And it's raining. :(
That does not make me happy. Hopefully the sun will come out later today.
Having a 3year old and a 6year old to entertain for 5 days will be interesting.
The 3year old is usually pretty good at amusing herself, but her brother is not!
I have to find some craft ideas and board games to keep them entertained. Hello Google!
Of course there is always the outdoors.
Perhaps, if the sun does make an appearance this week, we can visit the zoo, or dig out the bikes!
And in other news, something I am looking forward to!!
Greetings from WEGO Health,
