Keeping Freestyle Libre Sensors On

[Michael090382]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend the best way to keep a Libre sensor on for as long as possible. I have had one on for 3 days and it already seems to be coming away at one point!

Thanks

Hi @Michael090382

Yes, there are several solutions. I use Tegaderm. Many people use Rock Tape (from Sports shops???) A good resource is Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ukusersfreestylelibre/ Lots of suggestions there

Yuck, the url doesn't look encouraging but it's good information It's about preparing the skin before applying the sensor and also has some products to help them stick

Skin Tac wipes are my go-to! I use them before applying the sensor, but if you’re careful (maybe with some help) you can slide one under where it’s lifting and stick it back down. Failing that, a bit of rock tape over the top

Thanks everyone, going to have a read through it all and hopefully keep this sensor on my arm!
