In severe cases of hyperglycemia, the user may experience diabetic ketoacidosis and may require hospitalisation or intervention from a medical professional. What to do: Medtronic will contact affected users in writing to advise them of the issue. Consumers are advised to follow the interim actions outlined in the customer letter and to have an alternate means of insulin therapy available.
