[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1921681"] I understood the issue is not the covering but what you put on your arm under the Libre before inserting it. For example, if you put SkinTac on the area where the sensor goes into your body, you may be putting the SkinTac stuff, which is designed to be used externally, into your body. Your body may then react to this extra alien compound and effect your BG readings from the Libre. This is one reason why Libre come with alcohol wipes - the remove any residue on your arm which may be dragged in when applying the sensor. [/QUOTE]
