[QUOTE="New2T1D, post: 1488805, member: 406824"] I know what you mean. We decided to take the risk and if it didn't work, realised we couldn't complain. But where there is a nice healthy and abundant supply of interstitial fluid, my guess would be that it'll work well. I think that when (if?) Abbot do more research and realise it works on lots of sites, they might change their guidance, as the arm seems to put people off. My friend from work also has a recently diagnosed son and he wouldn't entertain Libre because he didn't want something in his arm - anywhere. So the thigh suggestion has given Abbot a new (sadly long term locked-in) customer that they otherwise would not have had. [/QUOTE]
