I’ve been using Abbott Freestyle Libre, problem-free, since July 2017. Unfortunately, since 04 May 2018, my right arm developed a skin rash when I took out the Sensor upon its fourteen-day expiry period. I was shocked by the deep red circular rash on my skin. And it’s still there, today, 13 May 2018.
And yesterday, 12 May 2018, my left arm also developed a skin rash when the Sensor (applied on 04 May 2018), prematurely came off after a week’s usage.
I am disappointed, and troubled, by these two successive skin rashes as I’ve become totally dependent on AFL given its convenience and reliability... But now I’m wary about using it again. Since yesterday, I’ve reverted to the traditional finger-pricking test strips. But I miss using AFL.
I’d appreciate it if someone could share with me analogous situations, if any, and the artermath / remedies. Thanks.
