[QUOTE="KarenG, post: 1551765, member: 171621"] I'm also having problems getting the Libre to stay attached. It is strange because I had no issues (except one) for the first ten sensors or so; however three out of the last three have all come off well before the two week period. One only lasted for 22 hours. Now, Abbott have been excellent at replacing them but it's really dented my confidence in relying on them. Where / how I insert has not changed and neither has my lifestyle. The problem is worse with exercise (and - sorry - sweating!) but the the sensors that worked survived marathon training so I don't think it's that. I wondered if the adhesive had changed..? Anyway, what more can I do to keep them on? I have started using the pump adhesive stuff before applying the sensor, and Tergaderm on the top. That was when my most recent one lifted after 22 hours! What else can I do? Really appreciate any thoughts as I'm in the group that has found the Libre pretty transformative and I'm keen to keep using it. [/QUOTE]
