I am experiencing skin irritation with Dexcom G7, what can I do?
Dexcom G7 CGM Systems have a sensor patch that contains medical-grade, pressure-sensitive, acrylic-based adhesive, and may be periodically updated to optimize sensor retention. All adhesive formulations passed irritation testing, allow for the full sensor wear time, and contain no latex.
The following link provides directions and options that you can review with your healthcare provider to find a solution that is best for you: https://www.dexcom.com/en-us/faqs/sensitive-skin. General techniques to remove the adhesive patch as well as residue from a previous patch are at www.dexcom.com/faqs/removal-techniques. We would also like to follow up with you. If you would like a member of our team to reach out, please submit a request through our Self-Service Patient Support Portal located at: https://www.dexcom.com/priority-support.
This applies to both Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G7 15 Day CGM Systems.
