Hi,
I have recently started using the Freestyle Libre and I’m having a couple of problems with the sensor, first one is within half an hour my first one fell off, I waiting two weeks for a replacement and again it started to peel off within about 2 hours. I have used Tegaderm to keep it in place. However this is part of the second problem, I did a reading not long ago and it was reading at 4.7, which is impossible because about an hour before hand I was at 13. I did a finger blood test and I was reading at 10.6.
Could it be the dressing causing the sensor to give inaccurate readings or something else?
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with it, and anyone who has been using it for a while, is there anything I can do to keep it in place? (Placement, dressings, tape, bandage etc)
Any help appreciated Thanks
