FDA Issues Public Health Notification on Test Strips
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an alert to users of home blood glucose meters to a potential problem with test strip accuracy involving meters using GDH-PQQ (glucose dehydrogenase pyrroloquinoline quinone) technology.
It's important to note that while the FDA notice involves a wide range of home glucose monitor brands, it only impacts a small subset of patients - those who are on certain drug therapies containing non-glucose sugars (such as maltose, galactose and xylose). These medications, which are frequently used in peritoneal dialysis patients and in surgery, can cause false highs on GDH-PQQ test strips.
If you have questions or concerns about the FDA warning, contact your doctor or diabetes educator. You can also read the official FDA notice for more information.
