@helensaramay I hope you have a super cool hat to go with such good hair?
Get your conclusions written up, Jay, you'll be a shoo in for the next Nobel Prize in physics...
@Jaylee . Could vehicle damage be an owl falling off the moon just scuffing the light? It’s quite a common occurrence apparently.
Hi my area say three weeks notice needed. So I usually get a 1l bin on prescription while I wait...Afternoon all ️
Sharps bin has not been collected for two weeks in a row now :/
Does everyone else use a sharps bin... ? Not going to lie, I went through years of just putting used needles in a class jar as on diagnosis no one ever gave me one and it only came up once I moved and registered with a new GP..

Back from the gym. Tad tough because of non-optimal BG experiment. Another lesson learnt.
Getting used to seeing my new hair in the mirror and thinking there's a red light nearby.

I use a couple of coats of Skin Tac first, and then MiaoMiao stickies - not had a reaction to date, and I react to lots of things. When it was on my arm, I’d have to add rock tape in the second week, but now I wear it on my chest, the Skin Tac and stickies does the job really well. Two gigs in the mosh pit last weekend were no problem, put it that way. I did find that Tegaderm plasters would make my arm quite sore where it pushed the corners of the MM against my skin, though.Calling all miaomiao-ers! Quick question, @porl69 , @Knikki , @Mel dCP , what do you folks use to stick it on?
I bought one recently as the blucon is getting a bit "betamaxy" now, finally got to me despite the courier delivering to the wrong address by failing to understand that 2 xxxxx Street is not the same address as 2 xxxxx Place, but that's another story.
Anyway, my slight concern is this. Touch wood, I've not had any allergic reactions to either libre, or the Molnlycke Mepore plaster I use to hold the blucon on, a very mild adhesive on it.
I've bought the double sided stickys which come with MM, but I've seen some posts on their facebook mentioning some pretty nasty allergic reactions, so I'm cautious about tempting fate by using them - really wouldn't want to glitch a working system for one which brings me out in a rash and makes me allergic to libre.
Have any of you had issues with the MM stickies, or is it enough to just tag in place with some other plaster you know you aren't allergic to? i'm aware that the airgap between sensor and MM needs to be tight, so don't know if just tagging it on with the plaster I use just now will keep it close enough.
I'll not be using it till I get a new phone, current one is at end of days, so I'll maybe just try using an MM sticky on its own to see what happens.
I used the stickies that came with the MM, never had a reaction to it luckily.Calling all miaomiao-ers! Quick question, @porl69 , @Knikki , @Mel dCP , what do you folks use to stick it on?

Also, you could just use the little sticky that attaches it to the Libre, and hold the body of it down with your usual plaster? I

Recently purchased this...https://www.google.co.uk/search?sou...10j46i131i67.ilafcS-CNI0#imgrc=nt58LwVzC7HtMM:
And have just started to use it on my last sensor....pretty good so far

I tried sticking it on, but then ripped a sensor off when removing my t-shirt, so went back to taping it on (with a bit of paper to stop the stickiness touching the electrical contacts).
