That’s what it feels like, anyway. A millennium of skin malfunctions over here that are making my diabetes and gluten intolerance genuinely intolerable of late! (A TMI post? Read at your own risk)
The latest bout of troubles kicked off this summer when I took the new Abbott Navigator CGM sensor for a test drive. The very latex-y adhesive used to adhere that product to the skin did not get along with my skin at…
