Hi everyone, I've just joined here today after months of just browsing!

I've decided to start using my libre today. I've read through all the booklets and I can't see any options of an alternative site for the sensor. I was wondering has anyone found any joy with it being placed in their stomach or upper thigh? Just I only have little arms and I'm not sure wether it would read right?

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes, I have had my last 4 or so on my upper leg and have had no problem. In fact, I'd say they've been more accurate than the first ones I had on my arms.
 
I have little arms and have struggled with accurate results. Was thinking about my leg or tummy. Whereabouts on your leg do you put it?
 
I tried two on my back just above the hip. Both sensors stopped function properly. One took 10 days, the other 2. I've gone back to my arm.
