From your experience how do you think the patches would hold up to my Mountain Biking Activity? I do this activity in an aerobic manner, throwing myself down rocky trails, jumps and all quite quickly so a lot of twisting and turning of upper body and core and of course perspiring heavily and getting very muddy and wet at this time of year.
I have looked at them seriously and thought I would probably average using 2.5 patches a month and its that expense that is holding me back, any advise from your experience and anyone else's much appreciated.
I know from personal experience (clumsiness) that it is easy to dislodge a sensor. I have managed it twice. I now use a waterproof transparent adhesive wound dressing of the breathable type over the top.
If what you are already doing is working for you and you would like a little more control then why not just do pre and post meal testing and see how you get on. I guess that I already know what I can and cannot eat but I like the comfort blanket.
