1. A measuring device for measuring a body temperature of a living being, the measuring device defining an underside facing the body when the measuring device is deployed for its intended use, the measuring device comprising:
a measuring unit configured for measuring the body temperature,
a first adhesive layer configured for fastening the measuring unit to the body of the living being, wherein the first adhesive layer (8) is arranged at a side of the measuring unit facing the body when the measuring device is deployed for its intended use,
a skin-compatible protective layer, which is arranged between the first adhesive layer and the measuring unit;
a heat-conducting element arranged between the skin-compatible protective layer and the measuring unit and configured for conducting a heat flow between the body of the living being and the measuring unit during the use of the measuring device as intended;
a carrier unit, wherein the measuring unit and/or the heat-conducting element are/is arranged in and/or at the carrier unit;
wherein the heat-conducting element includes a planar element, which is arranged on a side of the measuring unit facing the body during the use of the measuring device as intended, and wherein the heat-conducting element includes a lead;
wherein the lead extends through the carrier unit and wherein the lead is arranged between the planar element and the measuring unit;
an outer adhesive layer, wherein the measuring unit, the heat-conducting element and the carrier unit are arranged between the outer adhesive layer and the skin-compatible protective layer; and
an outer layer, wherein the outer layer is adhesively bonded onto the outer adhesive layer and wherein the outer layer extends over the first adhesive layer and/or the skin-compatible protective layer.
