I am using libre 2 and i am going to talk to the nurse soon due to having ypsomed pump there is possible libre 3 or dexcom which they could agree to fund. The funding might not happen but it has been mentioned that it might be possible.
The question is does anyone have experience of both libre and dexcom adhesive... I do get issues with adhesive in dressings etc, but the libre adhesive has, so far, been fine. I have read a lot more people have sensitive issues with dexcom adhesive so if anyone has tried both I really appreciate any advice. As far as looping now or potentially at some point, the dexcom g6 does,the g7 should before too long and libre 3 is hopefully going to sometime so I am really just looking in to it at the moment.

I have tried the Libre 2 and the Dexcom G6 (I have no experience of the G7).
Whilst I have been sensitive to some adhesives (such as the one used on my pump), I have had no problems with either CGM.
 
Me neither. Both stuck with a ferocios tenacity that necessitates baby oil
 
I have to take an antihistamine when I wear the libre but am fine with dexcom

Brava Adhesive spray 50ml is what I get, works a treat.
A quick short spray and almost instantly the sensor or pump slide off.
