Ok, so I love the libre! Really enjoy using it and I think it's fab!
My only trouble is the fall out ALL THE TIME! What am I doing wrong! I put one in on Sunday and went upstairs to change my top, before I looked in the mirror (half an hour after it was put in) and it was hanging out of my arm!!! I managed to salvage it for a week by using some bioclusive... I played hockey today and went to scan it at half time (really chuffed it had lasted so long!) and it wouldn't work... I lifted my sleeve and it was hanging out of my arm!! It's so frustrating! Does anyone else have this problem, I don't think the last 4 I have used have lasted me more than a week!
During this time I haven't used any moisturiser close to it and it hasn't been knocked in any way! What can I do to get them to last longer, I don't get them all the time because I can't afford it and I'm now considering not bothering at all! I have an omnipod too and this lasts no problem!!
