I have used the freestyle libre to manage type 1 diabetes since (b)(6) 2017.The initial 12 applications had no adverse reactions.However, a new prescription (lot 180126p, sn (b)(4)) resulted in thickening of the skin and redness upon removing an adhesive patch after a normal 10-day usage.Upon applying a second patch from the same lot to the opposite arm, the reaction was acute after 10 days resulting in a blazing red, raw circle with the exact dimensions as the adhesive patch.Blisters, clear oozing liquid and blood were observed.Several layers of skin were removed when the adhesive patch was taken from my arm.The infected zone itched like poison ivy and remained raw and red until medicines were applied to alleviate inflammation.The adhesive patch zone on the opposite arm from 10 days ago remains thick and pink.
