Event Description

Dexcom g6 sensor adhesive is burning the skin underneath it, causing my skin to be red, raw, extremely itchy and sore. The sensor is indicated for a 10 day wear time and due to this reaction, i had to remove the sensor after 5 days. Insurance will only cover and provide enough for a month which means i am left without sensors because of this awful irritation. Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
