Freestyle help

[DapherCake]

Hello!
I’ve seen over the Internet that new freestyle patches can cause you to bleed through the little hole, the nurse even told me the little hole in the patch is there so you hit something body can release blood.
I changed my patch today and like normal I put a see through plaster over the patch so it stays on longer and now I can see through the plaster that I’ve bled a a little but the plaster is stopping it
Should I take the plaster off ? Is it possible it’s stopping more blood ? I normally can’t take the plaster off without the patch coming off. Help!

I wouldn’t worry too much I’ve bled a few times and have never put plasters on it, just wiped off the blood and carried on as normal!

No problem, just leave it
If you want to be able to take the patch of in the future, just use a small piece of tissue between the sensor and the patch so the patch only sticks to your skin and not to the sensor.
