Dexcom reaction

[Millylou3]

Hi has any one had a bruise/reaction like this to the dexcom? I’ve been in it since 12 weeks pregnant (currently 31weeks) and this is the 1st time it’s happened- waiting for a reply from my diabetic team

Looks like a reaction to the Dexcom adhesive. Some have used a hydrocolloid adhesive patch underneath Dexcom. Worth joining a Dexcom support group for advice,

Dexcom changed the adhesive recently - there have been some extreme reactions reported.

I am still reacting to a sensor that came off 3 weeks ago. Def contact Dexcom. They may send some freebies too.

Blimey that looks nasty. I am supposed to be starting using dexacom this week, and have used many other sensors, and my body doesn't like many adhesives, so I'm not too thrilled to see this!
