[QUOTE="smidge, post: 860070, member: 29301"] [USER=42874]@robert72[/USER] - it is really weird, but I think you might be partially right about the force of applying the sensor. I'm wondering if it is because the sensor presses the adhesive so tightly against my skin that the skin actually peels away - and even putting the duoderm plaster under it doesn't stop it becaue the sensor holds the duoderm adhesive so tightly to the skin.
