hi guys! i was hoping someone could help me out here- i have about 4 days left of my first freestyle libre, and since the first day i put it on, the edges of the sticky part (particularly the back edge) have been slowly coming away from my skin!
now, with only 4 days left, all the edges have come up and aren’t sticky anymore. i haven’t gone swimming (only short showers ever other day), and i haven’t done any contact sports!
so far i’ve had 2 tegaderm stickers put over it (not at the same time) but the edges of them just came up too so i ended up having to take them off, which probably didn’t help the edges of the libre as i was having to pull on that to get the tegaderm off!
is this normal? or have i just put it too far back on my arm? someone please explain so i can have some peace of mind ahah
i was also wondering if the sticky goes all the way under the libre as well? hence why it hasn’t fallen off yet?
