[QUOTE="JimMcM, post: 2004406, member: 501653"] Hi everyone.. I'm new to the site, and to T1 diabetes lol.. I came on to see if there was a thread for issues with the Libre.. I was going great for a few months, then bang... I was getting really red swollen marks on my arms, and the pain of the sensor after 2/3 days was unbearable. I stopped using it, and my diabetic nurse told me to try a brand of nasal spray, as a barrier, then a tegaderm patch over the top. I tried it yest morning, and although there was no real pain, the readings were completely mental all day.. finger prick was around 6 and Libre was in the 20's lol!!!Had to take it off again today, and my daughter saw somewhere that ppl were using compeed plasters, so I'll give them a lash now.. here's hoping!!!
