[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1261485, member: 17713"] Crikey.. As a long teem critic of anything and everything concerning faults with pumps/cgms etc I am absolutely staggered at this criticism of Libre. Long term users of this forum will remember me for cricisong 2 of Accuchek sets that did get withdrawn. I also criticised the Freestyle Navigator CGM which is no longer available.. So I am really 100% at honest, open reviews and also certainly baing OTT on analysing everything. My libres have been absolutely superb. Yes the first one for 12 hours needs to settle in.. But thereafter just put another one in 12 hours early to settle in. I just put a strip of tubigrip over mine. Now seriously, if you keep the sensor in with correct pressure and length of time afterwards for the plaster to stick to skin for pulling off.. You should not have probs. Have showers etc but just be aware of not rubbing it with soap etc...don't challenge it to keep stuck whilst bathing/showering. I admit, I don't clean my skin with their wipe first as I am too impatient to put the sensor on. I have not had one single problem with falling off or inaccuracy. If someone is going to have a prob, it would be me. I hated the thought of libre because I had such probs with Navigator, all of which were reported to MHRA. If anybody could be critical I would be top of the list.. But for me I cannot give one fault at all. Think this is my 12th week now.. [/QUOTE]
