Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone who uses freestyle libre sensors can help.
I've used 2 different sensors so far as per the instructions which say that it has to be inserted on the upper arm. I don't want to keep inserting it there while the weather is hot though because I don't like it being visible in sleeveless clothes.
Does anyone know why it says you can only insert it on the upper arm? I can't work out why it couldn't be out on the lower back or another flat place...
Any insight would be appreciated and if anyone has tried putting it somewhere else I'd like to know how it went. They're so expensive I don't want to try it and it go wrong!
Thanks,
Liv
