Novel diabetic devices are being developed to help manage diabetes and improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes. Both insulin pumps and glucose monitors are becoming increasingly convenient, long-lasting, and discrete for patients, but this often requires the use of strong external cutaneous adhesives and increased contact time with the skin. As a consequence, these devices have been associated with a variety of dermatologic reactions, namely, irritant and allergic contact dermatitis. Some of these reactions can be severe, precluding the use of these devices, which puts patients' long-term health at risk. Herein, we review the history of diabetic devices and reported cutaneous reactions to diabetic devices and commonly cited allergens.
新型糖尿病设备正在不断研发,以帮助管理糖尿病并改善糖尿病患者的生活质量。胰岛素泵和血糖监测仪对患者而言正变得越来越便捷、耐用且不易察觉,但这通常需要使用强力的外用皮肤粘合剂,并增加与皮肤的接触时间。因此,这些设备与多种皮肤反应有关,即刺激性和过敏性接触性皮炎。其中一些反应可能很严重,导致无法使用这些设备,从而使患者的长期健康面临风险。在此,我们回顾糖尿病设备的历史以及报告的糖尿病设备皮肤反应和常见的过敏原。
