[QUOTE="Insulin_junky, post: 899547, member: 194700"] Thanks for the info Zebediah, firstly, well done on the weight loss, this is a bit of guesswork but.... I agree with your thoughts, but via a different course, if I use too thick a blister plaster underneath the sensor the results are not right even though the electrode was definitely inserted. I believe that the sensor works best when both the working and reference electrodes are in the interstitial 'zone' or the epidermis. [ATTACH=full]14061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14063[/ATTACH] The thickness of the epidermis will vary depending based on a number of factors, for instance on how 'naturally' hairy your arm is, muscle and fat will have an impact too. I guess this may be the reason why different people have different levels of success and different sweet spots, and one of the reasons why the Libre is only licensed for use on the back of the arm.
