🚨 IMPORTANT: Abbott Glucose Sensor Recall 🚨

If you or someone you love uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), you need to see this.

What’s Happening:

Abbott has recalled MILLIONS of glucose sensors due to faulty readings that have been linked to deaths. Yes, you read that right—deaths.

Affected Products: • Dexcom G7 CGM (Android, iOS, watchOS apps)
• Dexcom ONE+ CGM (Android, iOS apps)

Why This Matters:

CGMs are lifesaving technology for people with diabetes—but if they’re giving inaccurate readings, people may not realize their blood sugar is dangerously high or low. This can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), severe hypoglycemia, or worse.

Signs of DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis): 🚨 Extreme thirst
🚨 Frequent urination
🚨 Nausea and vomiting
🚨 Abdominal pain
🚨 Feeling very tired or weak
🚨 Headache
🚨 Fruity-smelling breath
🚨 Rapid, deep breathing

DKA is a medical emergency. If you have symptoms, go to the ER immediately.

What You NEED to Do:

✅ Check if your device is affected (check Abbott’s recall list)
✅ Use a secondary glucose monitor (finger stick meter) to verify readings, especially if you’re feeling off
✅ Do NOT rely solely on your CGM until you know it’s functioning properly
✅ If you feel nauseous, dizzy, weak, or “off”—check your blood sugar manually
✅ Contact your healthcare provider if you have concerns

This is serious. Technology is amazing, but it’s not infallible. When it comes to diabetes management, always have a backup method to verify your glucose levels.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of high or low blood sugar and your CGM seems “normal,” trust your body and check manually.

📲 Need help navigating this or have questions about diabetes management? We’re here. DM us or call 469-919-2029.

Share this with anyone you know who uses a CGM. It could save a life. 💜

🛑 This is not medical advice. If you’re experiencing symptoms of DKA or severe hypoglycemia, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Today I ordered a head CT with and without contrast for a patient.

Insurance price: $1,270
Cash price: $300

Same test. Same facility. Same quality.

The only difference? He didn’t use insurance.

Make it make sense.

This is what’s broken about our healthcare system. Insurance is supposed to help people afford care—but instead, it inflates prices to the point where paying OUT OF POCKET is over $900 cheaper.

This isn’t about one test. It’s about a system that’s designed to profit, not to serve patients.

At Tribe, we’re committed to transparency, fair pricing, and putting YOU first. Because healthcare should make sense—and right now, it doesn’t.

Colonoscopy Survival Guide

10/23/2025

“Your labs look fine.”

But you don’t feel fine. 🤔
Sound familiar? You’re not imagining it.

Conventional lab testing is designed to catch disease—which is important! But it doesn’t always catch the early warning signs or explain why you’re struggling with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, digestive issues, or hormonal chaos.

That’s where functional medicine testing comes in.
Instead of waiting until you’re sick, we look at how your body is functioning right now. We check for nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, inflammation, and more—things that impact how you feel every single day.

Functional Medicine Package
For just $449 (+ lab fees), you’ll receive:

✅ Comprehensive Intake Appointment – An in-depth consultation covering your symptoms, lifestyle, stress levels, diet, sleep, and full health history

✅ Personalized Lab Recommendations – Based on your practitioner’s assessment

✅ Lab Review Appointment – Once your results are in, we’ll meet to review findings and create a tailored protocol for your unique needs

✅ Additional Follow-Ups – Available as needed (not included in package price)

Some of the specialized labs we offer include:

🔬 GI-MAP
🔬 Metabolomix
🔬 Genetics testing
🔬 Food allergies
🔬 Custom panels from LabCorp, Quest, or Rupa
🔬 And much more!

This isn’t about selling you tests you don’t need. It’s about finally getting the answers you’ve been searching for.
