A member asked:
Daughter is type 1 diabetic currently using insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor. developed a bumpy rash at the site where adhesive is stuck. ?

Site Problems!: My 16 year old also has Type One diabetes and is using those two devices for management. This could be a contact rash to one of the adhesive, possibly. Try alternating sites and possibly adding in a layer of a different adhesive, Skin Tac, for example. If the area feels HOT or TENDER to touch, then it could be an infection needing antibiotics!
