[QUOTE="pinewood, post: 1236403, member: 147474"] I have never had an allergic skin reaction to any kind of adhesive or plaster in my life, but I get an awful reaction/burn when using the Libre and have to put a Compeed underneath in order to avoid it. I tolerated the Libre fine until the 7th or 8th sensor, so those who have just started and don't have a reaction take note because it doesn't mean you won't get a reaction eventually when your body starts to rebel against it. I do wear them continuously without break so maybe having a gap between sensors would have been better. Having said all that, Abbott announced on Twitter that they have been working on adhesive with an [B]"extended waffle pattern for easier moisture flow and improved breathability" [/B]and that Libre sensors with this "improved adhesive" are now "making their way to customers". I think I'll try my next one without Compeed and see how it goes. [B] Has anyone noticed this new "waffle pattern" adhesive?[/B] [/QUOTE]
