Some people do have a lot of issues with the adhesive and skin reactions. I am lucky and don't have that.

I use an Anubis, a modified Dexcom G6, (https://www.loopandlearn.org/anubis/), which allows up to 60 days of wear. Although realistically I've never gone over 25 days. This is with adding over patches as the adhesive starts to fail though. The one I'm wearing right now is on day 18 and still doing great.

After day 10-12 I also start to do daily checks with a blood glucose meter to verify that the readings from the CGM are still correct.
