Increasing incidence and onset at a younger age has changed the treatment strategy of diabetes mellitus (DM) towards prevention, delaying the onset, and minimizing disease complications. Self-monitoring blood glucose systems and continuous glucose monitoring systems are routinely preferred in diabetic children.Flash glucose monitoring system has come as an entirely new concept in glucose monitoring by providing much greater data than blood glucose testing while being more affordable than the continuous glucose monitors. The FreeStyle Libre provides ‘flash glucose monitoring’ with glucose readings by scanning a sensor rather than pricking the patient’s finger. The sensor measures interstitial tissue glucose levels every minute via a disposable round sensor with a small catheter inserted under the skin that can be worn for up to 14 days. The entire system’s on-body sensor patch worn on the back of the upper arm is disposable. However, the mild erythema may occur on the skin and disappear spontaneously after 24 hours from the detachment of the sensor. Similar skin lesions were observed in diabetic patients, and there was moderate to severe itching in 0.5% of the cases and moderate erythema in 4% of cases
