[QUOTE="redrevis, post: 674839, member: 27435"] As far as I understand it, the Libre was tested and approved for use in the arm. That's it, it just means they haven't tested other areas and therefore can't recommend using other areas. Doesn't mean that any other areas will be any less effective. I've read about people using them on their stomach, top of the buttocks, even on the chest and they've been working as normal so far. I think if you use a different area and you have a problem with the sensor, then Abbott may be less inclined to replace it if you're getting less accurate readings. But that's just my guess, I don't know of anyone who's experienced that as yet. [/QUOTE]
