(Foreigner here) Could this be related to DOGE's defunding of the three-letter acronym agencies and all that? It seems like proper testing and reporting weren't being carried out. They say this has been happening since the 80s, but seven deaths is a little too much.
Probably not. These products take a long time to develop, and DOGE was only a thing in the last few months.
no, these products are well known to have alot inaccuracies in thier detection, thats why you should have a backup fingerstick glucose monitor as a backup at all times.
