My last 3 dexcom g6 sensors have caused a severe rash, itching and potential scarring from the adhesive.This has never happened in 10 yrs of using the product, but now it is the last 3 sensors in a row, with unbearable skin reaction on my abdomen in 3 different spots.I was informed that they changed their adhesive recently.I called my doctor and have needed hydrocortisone and aquaphor to attempt to heal the skin.It has caused sleeplessness from itching/stinging and potential permanent skin damage, which means a loss of healthy skin area to place sensors and pump sites, which is a serious medical concern for someone with type 1 diabetes.I have now purchased expensive prep treatment and post treatment, because this technology is too helpful to my diabetes to not use.I am afraid to live life or sleep without an accurate continuous glucose monitor.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
