Hi
I am new to Freestyle libre having only used 2 sensors last year.
I am getting more this year but was wondering whether I should purchase some stickers to help keep them on?
I asked Abbott who say not to use anything but if I am self-funding I cannot afford to lose one after a few days!
I have been looking on Amazon and there are so many (including wonderful patterned ones!) but I was more after some that will allow me to swim and shower without the sensor coming off. The feedback on each product on there is very mixed.
When I went on holiday last year, I used some strapping tape which someone suggested but it had to be removed after every swim and the constant on/off of replacing the wet strapping with dry, made it come off after a few days. (Though I did spend a high proportion of time in the pool or sea!)
My question is - what do you use (if you use the Freestyle Libre)?? Is there any one product that is better than the rest?
Thanks in advance...
