When Libre originally started, many people had severe reactions to the glue-myself included. I thought I was going to have to stop wearing them but tried Cavillon underneath which helped. I no longer need to use this underneath as they have changed the glue. However I always have covered to prevent knocking off as I am very clumsy. Plus I swim 2-3 times a week for 45 mins at a time and there is no way they would stay on without. I feel this is a small price to pay for what in my opinion is a fantastic product. Something that I paid for myself for nearly three years but now get on prescription. Yes there are annoying glitches with it particularly at the moment, but we could still be dipping a stick in urine and be on fixed insulins with a very draconian food allowance. Paying for and sticking something over the top to prevent it coming off seems like a better deal to me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
