[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1882249, member: 264425"] [USER=473650]@gemma_T1[/USER] The allergy had been getting increasingly worse, to the point of ripping one off after 4 days. I am on the Dexcom and Libre rash Facebook site and it is frighteningly common place. It also tends to come on after long time usage. Which is the pattern for this type of allergy apparently.
