[QUOTE="RobertSK, post: 2348868, member: 503561"] I know the libre system's adhesive was an acrylate (isobornyl acrylate) that caused contact dermatitis on some people, myself included. I was able to use the libre system for about 18 months before the rash started. Once the dang rash appeared it was all over for me using the libre :( I suspect the Omnipod adhesive is an acrylate too. I feel for you my friend! Good Luck I found this article: [B]Skin Reaction Alert for Freestyle Libre Sensor Adhesive [/B]that mentioned the rash problem and did not recommend applying any OTC treatments as they have been shown to interfere with the sensor function. I spoke with my family doc about it but we've been unable to come up with a workable solution. I used Dexcom for a year, but gave it up because it was expensive... I'm back to poking my fingers 6x a day again. [/QUOTE]
