[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1969323, member: 468055"] I’ve been using Libre for a year now on prescription, and added a MiaoMiao transmitter to it in the summer. That longs the sensor every five minutes and Bluetooths the data to my iPhone, which turns it into a full CGM with alarms. I’ve also connected a cheap smartwatch, which buzzes discreetly on my wrist if I’m going out of range - ideal for when I’m concentrating on work etc and haven’t looked to see what my levels are for a while! I just have the audible alarms on at night. I knocked a few off on my arm, as most of us do, and was constantly worried about it being pulled off by some well meaning person when wearing short sleeves. I tried a strap but it dragged the sensor off. So now I wear it on my upper chest, and I use Skin Tac wipes ([URL]https://amzn.to/2sOdUK3[/URL]) on the skin before applying the sensor and MiaoMiao. Combined with the little stickers that come with the MM, that’s enough to keep the whole assembly nailed on for the full fortnight. Accuracy is just as good there - and of course the beauty of the MiaoMiao is that you can blood calibrate it, so you know it’s spot on. [/QUOTE]
