Freestyle libre sensor locations.
There may be an issue with the serial number you entered.
You can place it elsewhere as someone said anywhere fatty will work.
The only downside for me is that i almost get some nasty rash on my arm usually starting to itch even hours after placing a new one.
Comparisons between the libre reading and actual bg can be substantially out during times of rapidly changing bg.
I ve heard of others placing the device on their thigh and i placed my most recent sensor on my upper back area.
I have seen some people who are very slight use their stomach but that does limit injection sites and may not give a accurate readings.
This is not inaccuracy but more of a discrepancy between readings due to your interstitial fluid where the libre sensor gets its readings from being anywhere up to 15 minutes behind your true bg.
1 i know that the libre is only approved for use on the back of the arm but i don t have a lot of fat tissue in that location.
You have already redeemed your evoucher for your free of charge freestyle libre 14 day reader and sensor.
I have been using the freestyle libre for some months now and i love it.
1 it s also water resistant so you can swim shower and exercise with it on.
The freestyle libre 14 day sensor is painless 1 to apply and easy to wear.
When the sensor is applied a thin flexible and sterile fibre is inserted just under the skin.
The freestyle libre sensor is applied on to the back of the upper arm with a simple disposable device called an applicator.
However the most effective place is the back of the arm.
I have been using the freestyle libre with great results but i have been getting a little down as so many people think that the sensor is a nicorette patch and i am giving up smoking.
Such as after a meal.
I have never smoked a cigarette in my life does anyone place the sensor anywhere other than their arm.
