Freestyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor Side Effects
Wearing the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor is generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience mild to moderate skin-related side effects. These can include localized redness, itching, or irritation at the application site, especially in individuals with sensitive skin or adhesive allergies. In rare cases, users may develop a more serious allergic reaction to the adhesive or sensor materials, resulting in rash, swelling, or blistering. Skin infections can occur if the insertion site is not properly cleaned prior to application. Some users may also report discomfort during physical activity or while sleeping on the sensor site. Although uncommon, sensor detachment or malfunction may lead to inaccurate glucose readings. If persistent discomfort or signs of infection develop, the sensor should be removed and medical advice should be sought.
