There is no strap involved, it’s a self adhesive pad. It comes with very clear instructions. If you have to self fund you could save 20% by declaring a VAT exemption. Best of luck.Thank you for reply. I have very large arms. A strap probably won't fit round my arm
Aye, I'll let you know how I get on. I've just got back from the chemist, bought some plasters before put on the sensorLuvly, tell us how you get on.
As I say I ordered some special round plasters from Amazon, which makes me more confident to have a shower.
Hi yes I've cut a hole in the centre.I saw somewhere that the sensor has a hole in the middle which should not be blocked.
I guess you should cut a small hole in any plaster. Anyone?
The circular ones I got from Amazon seem to have a breathable area in the middle.
not 100% true in my case - had free trial - after 8 days I kept getting sensor error - scan sensor - called them and they sent replacement - same happened again and again they sent free replacement - i self fund now but not sure how long I can do that for as it really is way too expensiveIf you complain about a faulty sensor, they just thank you for your message, and "welcome back" if you need more help.
Agreed, I've had a 2 sensors fail over the 2 1/2 years I've been using Libre 1 and 2 and both times they've sent me replacements without any issues. I log that it has failed and get an automated email within a few days which asks for details (sensor no, where I got it, software I'm using on the app/reader etc) then they send a replacement. The last one failed after 13 days and I didn't think they'd replace it because it had so little time left, but they did! My advice if you want to use the sensors continuously is to always have one in spare, just in case, because it can take a while for replacements to arrive.not 100% true in my case - had free trial - after 8 days I kept getting sensor error - scan sensor - called them and they sent replacement - same happened again and again they sent free replacement - i self fund now but not sure how long I can do that for as it really is way too expensive
