Skin reactions
Has anyone experienced skin reactions to any adhesive in pregnancy? I’ve been on the ypsomed pump since beginning of the year with no issues, and Dexcom CGM for years, again with no issues. The moment I fell pregnant, I’ve experienced red, sore, swollen itchy sites for both after removal. To the point it scars my skin and itchiness lasts for weeks.
I’ve tried barrier spray, I’ve tried removing with adhesive remover wipes, nothing makes a difference

Yes! Just into my 3rd trimester now and the sites where I have my orbit infusions sets are awful! My skin almost blisters and takes weeks to recover going through a rainbow of red, purple, and brown discolouration! I've found icing the area helps when I remove the old infusion which reduces the itching and then sudocream but nothing has stopped it completely
thank you, will give this a go! How strange the way our bodies change all of a sudden
Yes ☹️ I only went on the ypsomed pump since I was pregnant but had the worst reactions to my infusion sets that I’ve gone back on my pens! It was so uncomfortable
