COVID-19 Communication
Dear patients,
Some people living with diabetes face a higher chance of experiencing more severe symptoms and complications from COVID-19. As such, we want to emphasize the importance of minimizing the risk by being proactive with your prevention strategies, including the need for you to be prepared with an adequate stock of diabetes testing supplies. For those who routinely monitor their blood glucose, on the advice of their clinical team, they should continue to do this more often.1
As per the recommended measures1, always have enough diabetes supplies for a couple of weeks ahead, in case you get sick or cannot refill.
Patient safety is our top priority. Rest assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and our product supply to ensure all Accu-Chek® products are available as usual.
From our Accu-Chek family to yours, wishing you only good health.
