Are Libre Sensors suddenly super sticky?????

[jinty73]

My sensor came to an end about an hour ago and.....oh....my......god......it was agony peeling it off!!! They must be using a new sticking agent to prevent all the doorframe accidents. Now a bit scared to stick another one on as its left my arm really raw(obviously I wouldn't be sticking new one on same area!!) Anyone else experienced this???

Try a medical adhesive release - available from chemist or free sample from OPUS. Also easier if you press the skin and adhesive patch down from the sensor. It seperates at the sensor and then the adhesive patch rolls up off the skin.

One of mine did this! The next one was fine though

Ouch!!

Mine have always stuck like limpets, but not quite to that extent, and I've always had to be a bit cautious in removing them.

Have a soak in a bath and it will fall off...mine did.

Mine have always been difficult to remove.

Am currently conducting a wee experiment to see how long it takes before one falls off without me pulling.
Currently running at 22 days, and still stuck as well as it was on Day1
