Hi
I have started to use a Libre more often. Now that summer is here, I’d like to swim more often, but having recently had a sensor fall off early - probably due to excessive sweating while in a hotter climate - I’m looking for advice on keeping the thing on.
The complicating factor is that I’m very allergic to many plasters/surgical tape etc. (have been very surprised that the Libre adhesive doesn’t cause problems) so wondered if anyone with similar allergies has advice about what to try. I have already tried the tape in the link below, but very quickly had an allergic reaction. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.
