3 libre2 plus in a week

[Worriedwife75]

Is this normal I know my husband is a new user first one was put on July 17th this one stopped working July 21st second one put on this one fell off just July 26th
I did get in touch with Abbot about the first one and they replaced it. But I don’t suppose they will replace ones that fall off. How can NHS afford these ?
Do you use those plasters to try and keep them on

Some people use overpatches or Skin Tac (which as the name implies makes your skin tacky @Worriedwife75 I preferred Skin Tac when I used Libre.

Abbott will replace the one that's fallen off, so I'd contact them.

I got our nurse to apply my first 2 sensors and noted placement and that she fitted it with a lot of pressure. Also watched videos. If your husband has hair where it is to go, maybe worth shaving it off. Also washing, drying, then applying alcohol and letting it dry before applying very important. I've been using the Libre 2 plus for several months, without over-patches or Skin Tac, and only one fell off prematurely. But of course, you can use them. It does take getting used to, especially avoiding sleeping on it. Good luck.
