[QUOTE="logindetails, post: 659892, member: 83701"] I've been in touch with Abbott in regard to covering the sensor with a tube bandage or micropore tape and they have said that it is ok to do as long as you take care not to dislodge the sensor. Unlike CGM sensors the Libre sensor doesn't continuously transmit data to the meter - it stores the readings until it is scanned manually, so whereas you may need to keep a CGM sensor uncovered a Libre sensor will quite happily go on gathering readings covered or not. I agree that Abbott should be informed if sensor readings are not in the same ball park as finger prick readings. I had a long conversation with an Abbott rep about this this morning and basically we first users are the guinea pigs - the sensors are being modified with reference to the feedback they are getting.
