[QUOTE="CoolUserName, post: 2411496, member: 542544"] Hi, I can't offer much in the way of a solution I'm afraid but I can empathise. My son is similarly slim and uses a Libre2 and occasionally we have a sensor that reads up to 3mmols higher. As he's a minor I usually 'plug it in' and we use the back of his arm - which I suppose is the underside if you hold your arm our, palm facing upwards at the fattest bit. Curiously it's usually his left arm that we get the dodgy readings from. He's right handed so maybe his left arm is lightly leaner and there isn't as much fat layer for the sensor to use? We apply the sensor 24 hours before it's activated too. I usually phone Abbott and they send a replacement. [/QUOTE]
