I got a freestyle libre yesterday. I want to use something to cover it. My little boy keeps trying to touch it and pick it off :(
What do you use to cover it?

I think some people use some film adhesive over the top like tegaderm or opsite or cover with a piece of rock tape

You could use a tubular bandage or a armband, both would work and shouldn't effect the sensor.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Tubigrip from chemist. Size E I think for my arm. I just cut off 2" and pull it up my arm and cover it. Its perfect. Doesn't interfere with readings, keeps securely in place and can either wash and reuse the little piece of tubigrip or throw away.

I guess it depends how young your child is whether he would just pick at whatever was covering it instead? It's astonishing how quickly we get used to these things, just being there.

Have a look at zuckerman or just type into google freestyle libre covers and it comes up near the bottom, they are made out of rock tape and go round the outside and trust me it doesn't come off for a very long time ! Rock tape (h2o is the type that's seriously sticky) is the thing I use and its fantastic and you can get it in skin colour also tagederm is really good as well
