Best Libre 2 Sensor Cover??

[TheSecretCarbAddict]

I haven't had issues showering with my Libre 2, but I do toss and turn a lot when sleeping, and there have been occasions when the sensor has started to come lose. I use (and reuse) a piece of sports tape for when I go to bed. That seems to protect the sensor quite well.

I’ve only had a sensor come off once and that I can say that it was the top of it as I could see into it and what was inside with where the sensors batteries are and the sensor nfc was on the top and the Bluetooth sensor is and the electric sensors and the motherboard and other bits and bobs were and I called freestyle and they sent me a new sensor out and I didn’t even knock the sensor to take the top off but it must have been loose or something so I didn’t complain I was in hospital when that happened stuck to 3 drips to fetch down a DKA and it did over a couple of days

Having had 2 sensors fall off quite close to one another I started using these.

I used to have trouble with sensors coming off. But now I wash the area thoroughly with soap and water, before applying it. None have come off since then.

Good morning

I have had issues with the sensor not remaining stuck on my arm or failing due to water ingress. I’m quite muscly and don’t have much arm fat, so my skin moves a lot since I’m quite active.

I’ve used multiple ways of applying the sensor, multiple off the shelf solutions for covers. After many experiments I developed my own solution.

I use an old sensor to draw a Circle on a piece of flexible sports tape 8x4cm to cut it in an oval with a sensor shaped hole. Then I wrap a band of kinesio tape around my arm.

You end up walking around
This allows me to take cold plunges and shower. It also enables me to surf, snorkel, crossfit etc for hours at once without a failing sensors.

All the best.

Amazon do a brand I believe called air. They are covers for the libre. I have tacky skin and without them the libre doesn't last 5 minutes. I Also have an allergy to adhesive dressings and no reaction to these at all. They're £21.99 for 20 but definitely a great buy for me.
