[QUOTE="Energize, post: 2012288, member: 28960"] Well, I have to say I don't attach the sensor to my arm - I have it on either thigh, towards upper and slightly inner aspect. It's as accurate, in my opinion, and much more difficult to knock off. I have also had sensors sited on my abdomen, just lower than bra level, and again, it's been good. Since I've had surgery for Breast Cancer (8 yrs clear now :) ), I've been advised not to use my right arm for blood samples, blood pressure, any tornique etc hence I use alternative sites. So, location of the sensor during operation, shouldn't be an issue, I hope ;) Thanks very much for your thoughts. Yes, I'll post back to let Libre users know if having a sensor on, caused any issues etc ;) [/QUOTE]
