I only place mine on the outside/back of my arm, within the circle on the Libre application pictures. Though I have read here some people have placed on the inside of the arm pointing towards the body to prevent knocking it off, and I believe someone said they had it on their chest. But I’m not sure how good/accurate it is to wear the Libre in locations other than what the manufacturers suggest.

I know some T1s have been putting it on their stomach, thighs and upper chest. Some have said it is more accurate and have no issues with it. Mine has always been on my upper arm. Abbott might be a bit funny about it if your sensor is faulty and you've been wearing it else where.

I wear it on my upper chest, doesn’t get knocked and seems as accurate as on the arm. It’s visible in summer tops but I don’t care :)
