[QUOTE="pinewood, post: 1815517, member: 147474"] The blister plasters you can buy - Compeed "medium" are the best size for Libre. They do start lifting at the edges but not for a few days and can you can always cover them. However, as mentioned above, you either need to pierce a hole in it for the needle to fire through (and risk still getting a reaction, which happens to most people) or take a risk that the needle will penetrate through the compeed - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't and I spent ages trying to work out best technique etc. but never found a definitve way. Maybe 50% of mine failed to insert , which means you've wasted a sensor and may not be able to get a replacement from Abbott. [/QUOTE]
