I am putting another freestyle libre sensor on tomorrow I have always had it on my arms, people have recommended the leg or lower back... apparently it’s more accurate...... does anyone else put it on their legs? Is it painful? How does it feel?

Lois - Please me aware that the Libre is only licensed for use on the upper arm. Should you have problems with your sensor, Abbott may not be too interested as you would not be using it as per their directions.

I do not think it’s the best idea
