hi i cant get my libre sensor to stay on ive tried everything i think when it gets put where the pkg says to i wack it off going thru doorways and i can barely reach to scan the reader so i tried my chest but im a tummy sleeper ive tried huge bandaids ive tried the things u can buy for them online some sort of huge flowery looking adhesive ive tried duct tape but that hurts any other suggestions? do i just suffer thru the duct tape? and struggle to reach it? in the proper place?
Have you tried one of the elasticated bands with a 3D printed Libre "holder" that you can buy on eBay? Thankfully, they stick like limpets to my arms but a number of people have enthused about these bands. I would definitely avoid duct tape. It is not designed to stick to flesh and maybe doing harm. Regarding the accessing the sensor to scan it, are you vaguely technical? The reason I ask is you could try an alternate app like xDrip or Diabox which hijack the Bluetooth signal and send the readings direct to your phone so you only need to scan to start a sensor. Unfortunately, these are unofficial apps written by techies for techies so not great if you are scared of technology. The limited documentation assume s you know a fair amount.
they stick ok i just hit the doorways as im unsteady on my feet i see lots of ideas to try thanks and do i have to leave that tiny spot uncovered or can the whole sensor be completely covered
Hi, Just the opposite side of the arm to where suggested by Abbott. Its less of a contortion act when scanning.? Lift the arm slightly & reach across with yer scanner using a freehand..
we are going to try that today i just dont know if that tiny hole can be covered like can the whole sensor be totally covered i was leaving it open but its harder cutting the whatever gets used to keep it sticking on
