Freestyle libre 2 inside arm

[Jaylee]

Hi

Has anyone put their sensor in the inside of their arm instead of the suggested outside of arm? My little boy keeps pulling mine off on the outside and want to try on the inside but worried it wont work. I hope this makes sense

Hi,

I use inside the arm, switching arms with each changeover.
High up the arm just concealed by a tee shirt sleeve…

In my experience, easier to scan hitting the NFC spot where the aerial is on my phone.
I also don’t seem to get “compression lows” caused by potentially sleeping on the sensor.

I’ve never lost a sensor. I’ve been placing them there for years…

But the main things to be wary of is embraces (I’m a married adult.) . putting on clothing like “Gillettes” or high viz vests. & back pack straps? & possibly pulling wet tee shirts off inside out over the head….

Hope this helps..

[Edit for clarity.]

Just cover the sensor. Have mine covered 24/7. Keeps it on during swimming, banging into doors and rough play from my 17 month old grandson.

These reusable “guardians” work pretty well.
Come in a variety of colours & more comfortable than they look on daily wear.
I found moving the buckle adjuster closer to the sensor cradle strap slot got me forgetting it was there.

I used to use a version that also cradled a BT bridge back in the Libre 1 days?

A small child might try the cradle, but the sensor should be safe by the time you stop the kid?
