Abstract

The number of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients is increasing worldwide. In the last few years there has been also a rapid development in the treatment of diabetes. Especially, continuous glucose monitoring has improved the quality of life of many diabetics significantly. These glucose measuring sensors stick onto the skin for at least one week and frequently cause skin reactions such as irritative dermatitis. Less often but most consequential is an allergic contact dermatitis to the adhesive or other components in the plastic housing of the sensors. The symptoms are so severe, that patients have to give up their device. Some patients also show cross-allergy to other devices for diabetic treatment such as components of their insulin pump. Recently the culprit allergen. isobornyl acrylate, of one glucose monitoring system. Freestyle Libre, could be identified.
