[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1415251, member: 88961"] Hi Sarah - I've never actually knocked one off, although I've had one just fall off (Abbott replaced it, without question), and one I almost pulled off, pulling up my jeans. The sensors seem to work in other sites, I've tried one lowish on my abdomen (this is the one I almost pulled off, pulling up my jeans). I was fortunate in that it was still attached and worked for the remainder of its time. I have also worn one on the side of my chest, so that it would be covered by my bikini, whilst in the sun. It worked OK, but wasn't an entirely great place for it. I have read of folks using the tops of their thighs too. As I understand it, Abbott will only support the Libre worn as per their instructions. I haven't had to, but I can't think they'd be very interested if someone called them reporting a poorly performing sensor if it were attached to an alternative site. I think experimenting would be at your own risk. [/QUOTE]
