- Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are of great value for patients with disorders of impaired glucose homeostasis, including glycogen storage diseases. We report on an 8‐year‐old girl with glycogen storage disease type 9b who developed severe allergic contact dermatitis to two different continuous glucose monitoring systems, FreeStyle® Libre and Dexcom® G6. Our case highlights the impact of sensitization for pediatric patients, the urgent need for open labeling of components by pharmaceutical and device manufacturers, and the need for avoidance of skin sensitizers in medical devices.
