Using a new dexcom g6 sensor, my skin became inflamed, itchy, and a red welt develops around these adhesives on the sensors.Using previous versions (g5, 4) does not produce this; insulin-delivery ports (medtronic minimed) are used all the time, and they do not produce the same welt/scarring/inflammation.I alternate the sensor locations, and each time the g6 welt remains for 2-3 weeks.I am now getting covered in the scars/welt.I was using previous versions of this attached medical device (g5, and g4) which are no longer available.The new g6 model is different in that it is attached for 10 days, and not 7.The adhesive has changed to make it last/stay attached over that longer period.Only the new g6 model is causing this reaction on me, and there are numerous other affected people with the same reaction happening to them with this new g6 as well.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
