[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1465345, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! Was he looking at the sensor applicator, or the sensor itself? Because the sensor, when attached to your arm, is only about the size of a £2 coin. Applicator kit: [ATTACH=full]22940[/ATTACH] Sensor itself: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRzJPklB8S0a5MorlyLy0MKsgJyfllkCIP5iRaZmOJyRC811OeAXg[/IMG] and can be covered up with tape so it just looks like a plaster: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTQx_vl9UiXo0higrRY9Voi5oP4ifxAg0L7V43mQd7Gf5lIu_7R[/IMG] Having said that, it may well be that your son is reacting to every part of diabetes control, and his dislike of the Libre is just an extension of it. I really feel for you. It must be incredibly difficult from your and his perspective. Are you waking him at night, to test his blood glucose? If so, you may be able to sell him on the Libre by pointing out that you can test his blood glucose [I][B]without waking him up[/B][/I]. [/QUOTE]
