Freestyle libre sensor locations.

Some people have had success with placing the sensor over a compeed blister plaster or johnson johnson toughpads. The freestyle libre 14 day sensor is painless 1 to apply and easy to wear. 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. The freestyle libre sensor is applied on to the back of the upper arm with a simple disposable device called an applicator.

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. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life does anyone place the sensor anywhere other than their arm. 1 it s also water resistant so you can swim shower and exercise with it on. 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.

You have already redeemed your evoucher for your free of charge freestyle libre 14 day reader and sensor. When the sensor is applied a thin flexible and sterile fibre is inserted just under the skin. There may be an issue with the serial number you entered. Please contact customer service at 1 844 330 5535 so we can assist you in continuing the process.

Such as after a meal. You can place it elsewhere as someone said anywhere fatty will work. Most commercially insured patients pay between 10 and 75 per month for freestyle libre 14 day sensors. 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.

I ve heard of others placing the device on their thigh and i placed my most recent sensor on my upper back area. However the most effective place is the back of the arm.
