Libre help

[ChrisR-K]

One thing I have heard of to keep Libre in place when swimming is Vetrap. It can be reused too... and it is colourful.
Not tried it myself but it may be available in the sticks for your farmyard animals.

That’s a thought! Thanks Helen!

Am going to google Vetrap as never heard of it. Opsite is costing me a fortune.

They are very different things - as you know, Opsite is a spray which is often used as a barrier whereas Vetrap is like a sticky bandage used on animals.

I put kinesiology tape on it (essentially rock tape but not as expensive). Works a treat and lasts 2 weeks.

I've been using Libre for two years now. Have tried many different things, the best combination i've come across is:
1, shave the area
2, apply Skintac to the area before application
3, apply a 5 cm strip with the edges rounded off of KT tape over the sensor once applied.
The KT tape will last about 5 days before it starts to peel off, so carefully remove and apply a new piece, but it only costs £5.00 for a 50 mtr roll so relatively cheap.

No, Opsite Flexifix transparent roll. I pre spray with Cavillon. 4 layers!! As I said it’s all costing me a fortune. I need to cover with waterproof dressing for the battering it gets at swimfit.
