[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1174724, member: 88961"] [USER=99684]@jackois[/USER] , I am what a medic recently called a "super healer", in that my body has a real knack of rejecting anything foreign to it, including, infuriatingly, surgical sutures, but thus far, I haven't experienced any major skin irritation with the Libre. Curiously, my last one fell off (just plopped on the floor) last Saturday, and that one was itchy for a while afterwards, but no redness, oozing or any of the other inflammation markers. I found my last couple of sensors have been much more accurate if I applied them, then deferred activation for 48 hours. I read about it on here, and the concept of the "injured" area settling after insertion made sense to me. I know that doesn't help with your skin issues, but my only other comment would be not to write off the periodic use of the Libre. I completely accept I'm not T1, and therefore may be looking at differing trrends, but my part-time use of sensors helps reassure me of the things I learned when using the Libre, that could never be picked up by even diligent and structured finger prick testing. I hope you can find a balance that allows you to continue to see the benefits, even if on a compromised level. [/QUOTE]
