Diabetes technology is well-documented to improve health outcomes for people with diabetes. However, adoption is hindered by skin reactions to diabetes devices. Prior studies report a high prevalence of these skin reactions but do not stratify findings by skin type or color, and often only include white/Caucasian patients. A cross-sectional survey was distributed online to identify the rates and types of skin reactions to diabetes devices in people of color and differing skin tones.
