[QUOTE="Peter_Sylvester, post: 1614934"] Hi [USER=206809]@Soapybubs87[/USER] These are good questions- and ones which have gone through my mind over the last few weeks as I embarked upon my Libre journey (1). The sensor lasts 2 weeks, and the reader tells you how many days left, and when to abandon it..! Just peel it off gently, like peeling a plaster (that’s why they tell you to make sure it isn’t attached to any “hairy” areas with stray hairs at the back of your arm. A quick shave in that area is all that is needed (2) Yes - it needs to go on your arm. However, I found on my 2nd sensor (fitted this week) that with a little planning and judicial use of the mirror, you can “hide” it above the hem of even the most short sleeved top (not a vest top, obviously..!) (3). The shower is no problem. It is waterproof and you only need to cover it when swimming in deeper water. It is a Life Changer - good luck and let me know if I can help. Peter [/QUOTE]
