[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1814331, member: 372717"] I had exactly the same, again after 8 months use. I persevered because I thought I could live with the rash, but then I discovered that the allergic reaction was causing increasingly erratic readings (eg a night time reading of continuous LO when my blood sugar was reading in the 5s and 6s). After numerous different sensors (Abbott were very good about sending free replacements) and even a new reader, I had to give up. I decided to wait 6 months and recently tried my last sensor : the allergic reaction was almost gone (just an occasional itch) but the readings remain completely erratic, so it's no more libre for me. (Am considering a dexcom in the future.) So, you may find things improve if you stop using the libre for a while, but make sure you do some traditional blood tests to check the libre results, as you may find the libre is no longer as accurate as it used to be. :( [/QUOTE]
