Dexcom G6 Skin Reactions?

[pinewood]

I am so disappointed; I have been using G5 for years and never had ANY issues with itching, skin reactions or anything.

I am now on my fourth G6 sensor and the last 2 have been horribly itchy and have caused nasty red rasied reactions, just like I used to get with the Libre.

Anyone know if Dexcom has changed the adhesive for the G6 or is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

There was an adhesive change between G4/5 and G6 sensors, yes, due to the "10-day" adhesive requirement. Sorry to hear that it's not working for you

thanks for confirming, Tim. I'm already on the "subscription plan" for G6 so not sure what will happen - will give them a call to discuss. Would be nice to think they'll let me go back to G5 and keep the same price plan but that is probably wishful thinking!

Negotiate hard....
