[QUOTE="Po girl, post: 2149501, member: 46255"] Hi all, Well I got my Libre yesterday and DSN put sensor on inside if my forearm for me as I suggested, however it ached and hurt if touched for a while after. I was still sore today and two corners of the sticky surround were going red? I was advised by her to remove and try another perhaps around the side to read of the arm. OMG - Yes the use of the word Limpet was definitely it!! The tape perked back of my tender skin but there was no way the sensor was letting go of my skin. It was like superglue and in the end I had to grit my teeth and pull it sideways - hard! It bled a little and stung and I think it's going to bruise. Not a great experience for the first one, and as you can imagine I'm very hesitant to apply another - hence why I'm writing this looking for others advice and reassurance? I can see similar problems people are having, but I also have Fibromyalgia and the top of my arms hurt to the fingertip touch so putting a patch to the side is not really appealing? I've loved one day of the Libre and don't want to give up - Can anyone help with ideas? [/QUOTE]
