A call to combat the burden of Allergic Contact Dermatitis among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus using medical adhesives: a cross-sectional observational study
This study aligns with United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 4 by highlighting ACD prevalence among children/adolescents with T1D using CGMs in the UAE. It underscores the need for biomedical manufacturers to disclose adhesive chemical compositions to facilitate the development of safer alternatives. Additionally, healthcare professionals should be educated on dermatological risks associated with adhesive-based devices, enabling them to provide more comprehensive care and improve individual outcomes.
