#014 Talking Severe Adhesive Allergies May 05, 2015

Show notes

Rachel Morgan is a tenacious type 1 diabetes mom who did not give up when doctors instructed her to discontinue using her son Henry's insulin pump and continous glucose monitor becasue of his severe adhesive allergy. Instead she turned to the diabetes community online and found an answer to Henry's serious problem - this ain't no contact dermatitis. Be sure to read Rachel's guest blog post on Arden's Day to see Henry's rash and find out how they relieved it. It is a fantastic read for anyone who wears a medical device that uses adhesive.
