I have recently had a stroke so cannot reach my left arm. Can I continue to use my right arm and change the position? Is there a minimum distance from the original site?

Hi,

I’m sorry to hear of your condition with the stroke.
It could be possible to rotate sensor site on the right arm by switching on the back of the arm with the inside arm? (On change day.)

I use the inside arm all the time on both sides with no issue regarding the sensor.
 
Sorry to hear about your stroke and resulting difficulties..

I used the original Libre sensors for a while - most of the time on my right arm for convenience as I'm left handed. I simply added a new one a slight distance from the previous one, and never had any issues due to positioning.
