[QUOTE="LionChild, post: 2426393, member: 461457"] I use waterproof adhesive patches which are basically like normal plasters, but of course round. They work ok, but towards the beginning of the second week, they too start coming away at the edge. Only once has my sensor fallen out and that was the Libre 2 version. What I did find when I first used the libre 2, was that the applicator would not separate from the sensor, it got stuck and that was pretty scary for a few seconds. But it did eventually come away, and all was well. The readings are higher - on average 0.8 [B][I]higher[/I][/B] than the finger pricks on this first Libre 2 sensor. Libre 1 was always about 1-1.5 mmoles measurement [B]lower[/B] than the finger prick. I don't understand why these sensors cannot be more accurately calibrated...? I wait to see what the next one will be like.... I hope you get all this sorted out soon. xxx [/QUOTE]
