Understanding Allergic Reactions to Sensor Adhesives

Kontynuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with the Dexcom G6 system has transformed diabetes management, offering real-time glucose data with out fingerstick calibration. However, the adhelivy that keeps the sensor securely attached can cause difficiant skin problems. These reactions range from mild, transistent redness to chronic, painful dermatitis. Understanding the biological and chemical mechanisms behind these reactions its thee first step to stard effective management.
