Rash / wound; i have been using my dexcom g6 cgm for almost 2 years without any problem.Over the past 2 months and around 6 sensors i have experienced a severe reaction from my sensors.They are designed to last 10 days but i was only making it 6-8 days.While in use the site would become so itchy, it was uncomfortable to wear.The itching then would loosen the adhesive on the edge of the site causing early failure.Then once removed i would have a large sore the exact size of the adhesive patch.The wound would be red, raised, and often ooze.This would last a few days.The oozing would stop but the site remains red, dry, and itchy for weeks.I have attempted to use barrier wipes and flonase to prevent the reaction but so far nothing has worked.I have always used the approved site for the cgm of my abdomen but now have so many bad areas i have had to switch to my arm.This product has changed my life in how controlled my blood sugars have been while wearing them.I would give anything to go back go wearing them comfortably.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
