Hi all!
I finally got round to ordering the Freestyle Libre starter pack by abbot last week - it arrived on Monday and i couldn't wait to get it on!
Everything was going well until today (so two days after application), I noticed my arm is bleeding beneath the sensor and so the adhesive is all bloodied and become a bit unsecured (not to mention looking a bit gross).
I have contacted Abbot directly and they replied really quickly and I've provided serial numbers etc to them and they're sending me a replacement sensor. I have read about people having bled through the centre of the sensor when it was applied, but not actually bleeding beneath it a couple days after. Just a bit unsure as to whether the sensor will still be as accurate.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? or would have any tips on what to do or how to avoid it!
All suggestions welcome!
