Ive just inserted a new freestyle libre sensor but the site is now bleeding quite a lot and there's blood coming out the top of the sensor. It doesn't hurt and I wasn't planning on activating it until the morning but I'm pretty sure its not normal. Any advice?

Hi Chloe

So far I have only had one that bled when I put it on, for several minutes from the hole in the centre of the sensor, but it then stopped and the sensor worked OK for the 14 days.

Hi, the exact same thing has just happened to me. Did it work out ok for you? Did the bleeding stop?
