Back to an old topic. I have found that if I ever need a 'plaster' to anchor the sensor down, Tesco Aquasafe Plasters do the trick. Similar to aTexaderm, etc but with a nice non sticky pad to centre over the sensor. works for me. I have been know to cut in half lengthways to allow more air...

I had planned to use it now and again to gain more control. Sadly it is not that easy. Yesterday without my new sensor inserted, after a carb counted desert I went to 21. With the sensor in and Sugar Surfing, that would never have happened. Mi was desparate for the delivery today. It has...

I posted back a sensor and Reader they replaced and luckily I keep the proof of posting as they got lost. Supposedly found the parcel somewhere

Sorry. More top of thigh! Only problem on second one on other leg is that I have a reaction to Tegaderm (2 or 3 in my Pump Group don't stick it down at all)

Tom I was advised a few weeks ago on this site (thanks Guys) to try my centre to inner thigh. works a treat and much easier to visually check it is still there. It did drop off on day 13 as I had Tegaderm patch on it that came unstuck and I decided to try without a sticky. I expect it also...

Thanks. That's what I thought. M I have been jabbing places to see if they feel like the back of the arm. I will go with your suggestion.

No, not really. Tricia

Tim. I am on 360mg of antihistamine daily, instead of the usual 10g but haven't been able to find a specfic pattern of problems. This sensor seems really good and I wonder what is the trigger for bad results. If the reader is within my range, I go with it. On Saturday I went to the...

I had to change my dodgy sensor after two hours the other day and was surprised to see a nasty red semi circle the shape of half a sensor. It made me wonder if that would have turned nasty or become a bruise if the sensor wasn't removed. I am now wondering if that red ring was the start of a...

Thanks. Seems Libre still for me. I don't have much angst about night Bg levels, so can manage without the alarm. I have had really volatile BGs the last few days particularly and having just changed my Omnipod sensor, there is a great blob of dried blood. I expect that is the culprit rather...

It's fine in hot weather of 30 degrees, plus also sea,swimming on and off all day. obviously type one is effect by hot weather. sunbed.... No experience. Tricia

Thanks. Can we ask new users who are invited to buy what the date on their boxes is? That way we will see if they are a completely new batch
