The use of technological tools in the treatment of diabetes has intensified and become common in recent years. Many of these systems adhere to the skin with an adhesive in place for between 2 and 14 days, or even longer, depending on the system under consideration. Unfortunately, an increase in skin reactions has been observed in diabetic patients using these new technologies, sometimes leading to discontinuation. The number of studies evaluating the cutaneous tolerance of the patches used by these technologies is limited, so the prevalence of these skin intolerances is unknown. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and consequences of skin reactions to skin adhesive systems for the treatment of diabetes. It will be implemented with the following design: observational, cross-sectional, multicentre study involving 4 Diabetology centres and over a period of 6 months. Establishment of an observatory on skin reactions to FreeStyle Libre® (FSL) and all other adhesive systems related to new technologies for the treatment of diabetes A questionnaire will be systematically proposed to the patients concerned, during the usual diabetes follow-up consultations made by all investigators.
