[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2348855, member: 140811"] I was not aware of Omnipod issues but both Dexcom and Abbott have been having problems with adhesive causing contact dermatitis and (in my case) systemic rashes with mild anaphylaxis. Having just Googled [I]Omnipod rash [/I]I can see there's quite a lot of internet activity! Maybe give that a go if you don't get the response you need here? For myself, the response to the Abbott Freestyle Libre started after year of use and I've read somewhere that the chemicals in the adhesive may act as a skin sensitizer so the user can start out OK but become sensitive over a period of time. For the Freestyle Libre people have developed a lot of workarounds, including an adhesive patch between the device and the skin, using anti-allergy sprays (Fionase/Cavilon) and even removing the adhesive and replacing with something else.
