[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 2132121, member: 44622"] I looked at the libre users web site and I thought that the pictures showing the use of the sensor were wrong. No-one, even the how to do it pictures, showed it on the back of the arm. They all showed it on the side of the arm and complained about it being removed by collision with a door. I suspect something similar if the round white bit is lifted but the gluey part is still in place. I suggested this. Get in front of a mirror and place the left hand on the head. Point the elbow at the mirror and you should now be looking at the back of your arm. Shave the area and apply the surgical spirit pad or your own bottle if you have some and then apply the sensor. This doesn't mean there can't be accidents. I cover mine with a sports tubular bandage and I have not had one lift until I pulled a shirt over my head and the shoulder seam stripped it off. A little care is needed. [/QUOTE]
