Hi CR! We are doing great over here! I am so thankful to report that we are on day 13 and the Libre is still on! woo-hoo!:) It is liftingup just a teeny bit, but it is still working. I did find the TegaDerm+Pad on Amazon.com, and I bookmarked it for future consideration, as we had already...

Fantastic - Thanks so much for sharing! That's encouraging to hear that it's worked so well for you. I will look it up on amazon and add it to our list of options! Thank you:)

Thanks for sharing CearaRed! I have never tried this.I didn't even know the TegaDerm came with a pad option - good idea. For this run we applied skin tac, then the sensor, then covered it up with VetWrap. Will see how this goes! If this doesn't work I am so thankful we have other options to try...

Thanks so much for sharing, Slip! Here's hoping we have the same experience this time! We are on day 4 now, so far so good! :) Thanks again!:)

Thank you so much @porl69 :) Very thankful to have found you guys!

Thank you SO much Vashti. Very encouraging:) Thank you for the warm welcome!

Glad to hear you're doing great for the most part:) Yes yes yes, so true. Big hugs to you Diakat! Cheers to being alive! :D

Great tip on self application! I will share this tip with him for when he is putting it on himself. Thank you again for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Cat! Much appreciated! :)

PS Thanks so much Diakat!! I see you’re a T1 as well. How long ago were you diagnosed? And how are you doing? :)

We are actually doing well overall! It was quite a shock to all of us. I try to be strong for him so even when I cry, I cry by myself (or sometimes with my husband)... but I don’t like my son to see me breaking down or being worried or upset so that I don’t upset/scare him! I try to be positive...

I would say this picture is definitely on the side, not the back of the arm! What do you think? When we apply it we put it more on the back of the arm like the pictures in the Libre How to guide show. The last couple times we’ve had trouble with it have been in the morning after he wakes up...

Thank you Squire!!

Fantastic. Thank you so much! Love the extra info on that thread too. Feeling very optimistic! The Libre has made our lives so much easier and has given us much more insight into what is going on all through the day! And for us it is so much more affordable than the Dexcom or the Medtronic. So I...

Great! Thanks!!

I found the VetWrap on Amazon! Helen, what size do you find works best for you please? I am thinking either the 3 inch or the 4 inch right? Thanks!

Thanks Juicy!:)

Oh and my son is very very lean! I don't know if that also affects things. So thinking about it, the inner part of his arm might be better than the back. ..hmm. Only thing is, he also wears a body brace for now and I try to keep the sensor away from the brace so it is not constantly hitting the...

Thanks so much Helen!! Hmmm that is so interesting re underneath your arm vs back of the arm... just to make sure I understand clearly do you put it on the inside of your arm, so closer to your armpit? Is that what you mean by underneath the arm? That might work better since it's a little more...

Thank you Juicyj!! I purchased those in the past but it seems we might still need a little extra "something" as the sensors still keep falling off even with those on! My son is not super active either so I am not sure what's going on. Or maybe we just got a bad batch of sensors? Thanks again!
