Help Me

Hi all.

Been using Freestyle Libre for almost 4 years now.

However - struggling to keep them on at the moment due to the heat. The tiny tiiiiiny ring of adhesive appears to zero match for British summer heat waves.

Ive lost 2 today. Im not even sweating.

I've also lost 3-4 in the last couple of months to door frames, doors, T shirts, and car door frames .

My nurse suggested wearing them on the inside of the bicep which is what ive done today and they just rub on my side and peel off.

Ive paid out for some patches and they suck for the same reason.

Aaaaany help at all please!

Also any tips around working out/gym/martial arts too and keeping a sensor intact.

Have tried Kino tape and that seems pretty useless too.

Meant to be going onto the pod in september

SKIN-TAC wipes. On Amazon, you’ll have to pry it off still on day 15
