My mum lives with me. She is right side paralysed and only one hand of fingers to use for finger prick testing. The Freestyle Libre looks, on the surface, like a great idea as with her dementia, multiple testing on already bruised fingers is torture for her.
My worry is about being changed/moved, as she needs to be rolled multiple times a day onto her side, which has pressure on the arm a sensor would be on.
2 Questions
1. Can it be attached to the front of the arm.
2. Would rolls onto the side/arm cause pain/sensor to be detached.
Thanks
