Hello again folks.

I was just wondering if any of the Freestyle Libre users have tried a sensor on the abdomen area? (rather than the stated 'upper arm only'). If so, how have your experiences been with this? Have you found the results to be more accurate, just as accurate or less accurate when the sensor is worn on the abdomen compared to when worn on the upper arm?

Im very aware that it is not to be used on the abdomen as all the testing has done on the official site for insertion, so im solely looking for experiences, not suggestions to go ahead and do so:)

Again, thankyou for your time, i look forward to hearing back.

John:)))

The only sensor I used on the abdomen had poor results and fell off in 6 days.

Others have had better experiences than me!
