Patient called to report an adverse reaction to his dexcom g6 sensor.Patient stated he's been using the device for over a year with no issues, but about a year ago he noticed a change with the adhesive.Patient stated he thinks dexcom must have changed the chemical composition of the sensor adhesive because after 3 days of wearing the sensor he experiences severe burning sensation at the site.Patient stated that the sensors are meant to be worn for up to 10 days, but after only 3 days he gets a very bad skin reaction.Patient stated he's called dexcom several times and has talked to representatives and nurses who have been helpful and provided him with different barriers he could try to use between the skin and the sensor to help lessen the skin irritation and burning.Patient stated these barriers did help for a while, but now they aren't working as well, and he's noticed his skin reactions are getting worse.
