Subject: Abbott Provides Important Information Regarding Blood Glucose

Monitor Units of Measure.

This letter is to inform you of an important subject regarding proper use of Abbott Diabetes Care blood

glucose meters.

Abbott Diabetes Care meters are designed to show results in two different units of measure. This is

dependent on country standards. In Canada, the correct unit of measurement is millimoles per liter or

"mmol/L." In other countries the standard may be milligrams per deciliter or "mg/dL." If a user's meter is

set up with the incorrect unit of measure they may have difficulty interpreting their result and this could

lead to improper management of their diet or diabetes medication to control blood sugar levels.

Currently, with Abbott Diabetes Care meters, the only way to change the "unit of measure" on meters is

through a user-initiated change. Abbott Diabetes Care meters do not change units of measure when

dropped or when there is a power failure.

Please review the following to confirm that you are using the correct unit of measure.

For FreeStyle® and FreeStyle Mini™ Users:

Press the m button on the meter. The unit of measure will be shown on the display screen.

If the unit of measure is incorrect, it is important that you change it. Please refer to any of the

following sources for detailed instruction:

See user manual for meter set-up.

Review the quick reference guide.
