Abstract
Abstract The CDC reports 1 in 10 Americans have Diabetes and that number only continues to rise each year. Diabetes is a lifestyle altering condition that requires those diagnosed to monitor their blood sugar daily. Traditionally finger prick blood draws were the only method to do this and it put many at increased risk for infection and reduced digit sensation, until Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) was later developed. CGM's are unique because they can attach to any part of the body and upload data to smart devices. Unfortunately, CGM's brought about new issues for diabetics. As CGM use increased, as did incidences of allergic and irritant contact dermatitis (ACD & ICD), preventing many from continuing its use. The purpose of this Literature Review is to assess current articles focused on ACD, ICD, and other skin conditions related to CGM use and consider how diabetics can prevent and treat these side effects to safely resume CGM use.
