Hi

Can anyone recommend some sort of tape to put over the Libre? My 4 year old son has very small arms and there's not a lot of space to play with. The sensor has only been on a few days and the edges have already come away from his skin.

Thanks
 
Tegaderm. I won't wear a sensor without. It usually stays on for the whole two weeks, although with the warm weather and lots of swimming I've needed to clip the edges and put a new patch over.
I use a 10 meter roll of 10cm width, and cut pieces of about 8 cm to cover. A bit smaller would work as well, but I like the extra.

Thanks for your advice. I'm going to order some right now!
 
I use kenesiology (rock) tape if mine looks like it might be coming adrift. Comes in all sorts of colours and patterns. A top tip is to round the corners, it helps stop it lifting.
