[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2007589, member: 372717"] There are a number of threads about this. Many of us develop an allergy after some months of use. I'd be very cautious about continuing to use it after the allergy is that pronounced - there is one case where a user went on to develope an all over rash and was very sick indeed. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/freestyle-libre-poll-have-you-had-a-skin-reaction.77681/[/URL] The above is pretty informative. Abbott seem happy for the affected users to go elsewhere, they have more than enough customers who don't have issues. In my case, the allergy combined with the readings becoming completely erratic, so I've given up, though I might try again once the new glue makes it to New Zealand (one year, two years, three years???). Am considering the dexcom G5 (not sure when G6 will be available here). [/QUOTE]
