Medtronic MiniMed Mio sets

[Nicola M]

Recently the MiniMed Mio sets that I've been using have been making my skin really itchy, much like the issues people get with the Libre/Dexcom rashes, it's only happened in the last couple of sets I have used, I don't keep them in for longer than the 3 day period and I don't use any products on my skin that could cause the itching. I do suffer with the Libre and the rash/itching which I tend to just put up with. Have Medtronic changed their formula for the Mio's recently or am I just becoming sensitive to yet another medical product. For a side note as well I cannot use anything like skintac etc because that gives me skin reactions.

Hi @Nicola M - how about trying a skin barrier spray instead like Cavlon ?

I’ll give that a go, thanks! @Juicyj

It’s worth a go @Nicola M however if you get a red spot around where the cannula set is inserted then you may be allergic to the Teflon set so keep a careful eye on things.
