[QUOTE="gavin86, post: 1491007, member: 401781"] I think my questions would be this: How homogeneous is interstitial fluid? (Eg Do different sites have a different lag time, or even a different relationship, to blood glucose?) Are there any major veins/ arteries/nerves at your new site that could be hit? I imagine the truth is it's just that they've only been approved for one site, and they have other aspects of Libre they'd rather spend money on right now. They would have done testing already regarding accuracy and either found that on average, arm is best, or location makes no difference. Individuals may vary of course. Me, I'm happy with it on my arm. I want people to know that the age of the machine-man is coming[emoji14]I do wish they'd offer some different looks though. A white circle is ugly, I only accept it because it's cool technology. I have a weird dislike of circles. Black/grey hexagon please Abbott! [/QUOTE]
