Just fitted my first ever Freestyle Libre sensor and it was painless and really easy.
Area cleaned with the special wipe, shaved and fitted. Really didn't like the look of that needle when the sensor was sat in the applicator but it really didn't hurt. I then secured it with the wound dressing Tegaderm which cost me about £1.60 for a decent sized piece.
Was really concerned about messing the process up especially with the cost of the sensor but so far so good.
I will be activating the sensor tonight with the application on my phone - didn't want to purchase the reader for the additional cost when my phone `should` do the same thing.
Any comments appreciated - especially from longer term users (that sounds bad)
