[QUOTE="Popsmum, post: 1313321, member: 355838"] We (my 6 year old little girl) have been using a libre since August. Results seem pretty accurate and save a lot of finger pricks. Biggest bonus is she can scan herself in class- she has lots of hypos was spending large chunks of the day in the school office being tested before and was missing sitting next to friends at lunch and suffering hypos to avoid bothering anyone. The first one fell off (she was climbing the wardrobe and knocked it out [emoji37]). The sensors are a nightmare to get in a hurry so I always keep a spare but we have never lost another one. I always put fabric tape over the top as they are quite large on her tiny arms and stick out a bit. We have used tegaderm for swimming. Scanning is a very popular activity with her twin and class mates she is always happy to show it off. Great knowing what has happened between tests scary ups and downs over night. The reader fits ketone strips. Wish we could have a CGM but libre is really useful. Hope that helps. Janet [/QUOTE]
