Just wanted to report that I’ve put my 2nd Libre 2 Freestyle on today since being in Sri Lanka. It’s **** hot and humid here and the chaps at Abbott were a tad worried the units would either:
•Not work due to heat
•Not survive the journey and storage as needs to be below 25%
So, in a nutshell they’re great. Yes, I get sweaty and oily, but pat with a towel and by end of night all OK.
They stay on and even when outside in the baking sun.
Once I took the old one off there was a smell though, the usual smell of trapped, wet skin…never a smell when in UK. But, cleaned with soap and some lotion and all OK.
I have cleaned new site with over the top alcohol wipes so to ensure good stick and no oil.
I’ll report back once I’ve finished this 14 days.
Next issue I face is Libre 2 is only available in UK/US and EU, I believe, so once I’m done with them here I’m back to the finger till my assignment finishes here.
