[QUOTE="MsBea, post: 2132031, member: 514337"] Thanks so much Helen!! Hmmm that is so interesting re underneath your arm vs back of the arm... just to make sure I understand clearly do you put it on the inside of your arm, so closer to your armpit? Is that what you mean by underneath the arm? That might work better since it's a little more fatty right? I have to look more into that, Thanks for sharing!! So what I mean is that the sticky outer circle remains on his skin! But the actual sensor (the middle plastic(?) part that has the needle) starts coming off. Sometimes it starts raising up just a bit and doesn't come off completely, but it rises enough to dislodge the needle from his skin and render the sensor useless. We have tried putting the Tegaderm patch on it but it doesn't seem to help much. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and what works for you! He doesn't wear tight sleeves so that would be just fine for us! I will go look up the VetWrap right now and see if I can find it! Thank you!:) [/QUOTE]
