Freestyle libre 2

We all seem to have different skins. I've only ever used Libre 2 and they stick fast and need levering off. I assume you used an alcohol wipe before and shaved if relevant?

 

I have used both Libre 1 and Libre 2. With both, I seem to have the right type of sticky skin and not had any problems unless I place them badly.

Have you been hotter recently and maybe sweat has coincided with your Libre 2 adoption?

 

I switched a couple of months ago and after prolly 3 years I just had first one “fall” off, this did however involve me standing on the cat in the dark and half falling half jumping into the bedroom door frame so not sure that counts.

Have to just say how amazing abbot customer care is.​

 

Can anyone please advise me if this can be worn on your thigh. I’m currently waiting for a GP appointment (waiting for 3 weeks) as I have lots of questions to ask. I don’t want to wear one on my arm as I work with young children & I don’t want it to be visible. Thank you

 

The official Abbotts line is that it has to be worn on your arm, but lots of people on the forum have worn it on the thigh, inner arm, and chest, and it's worked fine.

 

Freestyle Libre 2 is not as sticky for me, either. But my big issue with it is it’s painfully slow at reading, and two have had to be sent back to the manufacturer because of errors / failures.

 

I believe wearing it on the thigh is perfectly acceptable but you do have to realize there is a variance in accuracy depending on the site yo wear it.

This is one guys opinion on variose sites for p;ace ment.

 

Do people find that reading vary from arm to arm?
