[QUOTE="lapwing5, post: 1156280, member: 41015"] Diagnosed type 2 last year and I started using the libre freestyle sensor kit very recently. The first two sensors, which I fitted carefully and following manufacturer directions, had to be replaced as they allowed water in whilst showering. I am on my third sensor in about 10 days and so annoyed about the situation that I have made a rubber cuff from rubber gloves with Velcro fasten in order to keep the sensor dry whilst showering! I am hoping this will solve the problem - has anyone else experienced water ingress? Of course I followed all the instructions to the letter but the customer service at Abbott said there were sometimes glue "issues". The information I see as I use this is valuable to me as I am type 2 and take 500 metformin XR once daily and hope to be able to get off that in time. This should help me do so if I can cope with the technical issues I encounter. I try to keep low carb high fat mainly. [/QUOTE]
