Libre Freestyle 2 in hot weather

[AutisticMum]

I use an arm band to hold it on but getting hot or being in a hot environment can cause it to give a erroneous very low reading and then stop giving a reading and then end early. Today it took 10.5hrs between putting the sensor on to the sensor ending which is a record. It is regularly ending after 1-4 days since the weather got warm. OK Abbot send out replacement sensors but I am still having trouble having enough sensors to keep up. No idea what to do.

Can it be that it's still shifting a bit with the armband when everything gets sweaty?
Instead of a band I use an overpatch (hypafix transparent or tegaderm) and I haven't had this problem.

Hello,

Are you scanning using your phone or the Abbott reader?

Good shout. Could the band be to tight, causing a “compression low?”

I did try over patches. They don't stay on.
