I am using a Freestyle Libre 2 CGM. I am not allergic to the adhesive on the sensor, which is good news. However I bought some waterproof overpatches recently to try as I'd like to go swimming at some point. Looks like they are made in China and are supposed to be hypoallergenic and latex free, but after wearing it for several days had to take it off as I seem to be allergic to it. I'll try to upload a photo of it on here if I can. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an overpatch as I'd like to try a different brand maybe. I am latex intolerant but seem to be ok with the adhesive on the sensor. Not sure if it's the glue or the material I'm allergic to on the patch. I'd be particularly interested to hear from those with sensitive skins. I don't think it is an adhesive I'm after as the sensor has not come off as of yet. I'm just thinking about swimming as the time limit with the sensor is 30 minutes and this I have been told is due to the adhesive possibly being affected with any longer.
