Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice on libre sensors and how to keep them on. I've just started using libre last week but within 4 days the sensor had started to come away from the backing adhesive sheet.
I am slim with a small arm and don't have a lot of flat surface to my arm on the recommended area for placement. It looks like the sensor has peeled away because it has a tiny edge on a slightly more raised area of arm.
I have read some posts here about covering it but I wasn't sure if you could use adhesive covers over the full sensor? Also preferably something that's doesn't try to rip your skin off when removing
I bought a plastic ring which goes around the sensor you can tape in but didn't find it much use.
Ive also looked at the strap housings, has anyone had any esperience of what they are like?
I'm not crazy active but I use my upper body a lot in my job holding and lifting animals and I'm a bit worried having it more on the outside of my arm it might come off. Any help would be much appreciated.
