Hello!
My sensor came to an end today. I took it off early and by early I mean I walked into a doorframe and it came off a few hours before it was due to end.
I have 4 new boxes from the pharmacy and literally, none of them would stick. I applied it and it just fell off. It doesn't feel very sticky AT ALL. None of them do!? Possibly a faulty batch??
I now have one on my arm held on by a patch. I've NEVER had this before. I normally have trouble getting the heckin things off. They normally survive hour long baths 3x a week etc.
What on earth do I do? I rely on this CGM now for my hourly daily walks. I'm worried Abbott will think I'm taking the P if I do 4 fail forms in one go and my GP won't give me more than 4 in a month.
Edit: also wanna mention that I cleaned my arm, tried both arms, same issue. I'm not sweaty or anything. Brand new sensor started to peel immediately when I moved my arm. The patch I have on has no issues and these are usually rubbish so I know it's not my arm!
