[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2548885, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums [USER=560510]@Phoenix1227[/USER] I moved to the dexcom G6 a couple of years ago, after an allergic reaction to the libre made it both really uncomfortable and completely inaccurate. I had a mild allergic reaction to the sensor a couple of times but after contacting dexcom they sent me some links on how to reduce allergic reactions and I started to apply cavillon cream before inserting the sensor, which has worked for me. There are numerous discussions about the issue on dedicated dexcom boards. Here's a link from dexcom [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dexcom.com/faqs/sensitive-skin[/URL] As for false lows, I sometimes have an issue in the first 24 hours, but mostly my dexcom is accurate. I do check against a meter occasionally and recalibrate if it is consistently out, though I don't need to often. Dexcom phone customer support are [I]extremely [/I]helpful when I have issues.
