Type 1 Libre 2 plus

[Fraser MacLeod]

Is anyone else having issues with libre 2 plus falling off before the 15 days that it is supposed to last. My latest one only laster 2 days. Any thoughts how I can keep this on?

I am on libre 2 plus but don't have any problems with it staying on. I seen mentioned Not just a patch from Amazon. I just wipe the area with an alcohol wipe and make sure it is completely dry before applying. Maybe more will tell you what they use. Hope that helps

Morning. I use skin tac wipes which I get from Amazon. For me they work well. Only problem is if the sensor has to be removed before the 15 days are up.

another alternative may have search on likes of amazon/ebay for overpatch libre2plus.

edit added below:
if its knocked off from bumping into things (easily done) you can try put it slightly further round, or up down a touch, which will help prevent catching on door jars etc.

dont have any issues with them recently and indeed have found them pretty hard to remove. wash area beforehand, ensure dry. alcohol wipe, wait til dries use second one to ensure all traces oils etc away. i use cheap pre-injection swabs. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I0Y23DA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
