According to this article on Medscape (free with registration), glucometres made by Abbott Diabetes Care may inadvertently switch between the American mg/dL and the international mmol/L, causing users to adjust their insulin incorrectly. This includes FreeStyle, FreeStyle Flash, FreeStyle Tracker, Precision Xtra, MediSense, Sof-Tact, Precision Sof-Tact, MediSense, Optium, and private label brands ReliOn Ultima, Rite Aid, and Kroger blood glucose metres. Those outside the US include Xceed, Liberty, Boots, Xtra Classic, Easy, and SofTrac devices.
I use One-Touch Ultra, which isn't included in this, but I thought I'd pass this along to others with diabetes who might use another metre.
