im looking for a patch with a hole in it because the one i was using keeps cuasing compresson lows. these where the only ones I could find on amazon, but some reviews give me second thoughts...
I saw some others on diabetes supplies but they sell them by the invidual patch, and if you want more it gets very expensive...

Has anyone tried these ones? What is your experiences?

 

[Sara Grice]

The ones I got before where "not just a patch" branded ones, I'm just trying things to see if they help..otherwise I dunno what's causing every other sensor I use to go low when I lay down (but not on the sensor side)

Did you not like “not a patch”?

The ones I had where clear off Amazon, no whole, covered the whole libre.
Will see if I can find which ones and add here. I know they aren’t what you are looking for.

It isn't a case of not liking it, it's realy easy to get on and normally stays on well.. but It's realy the only thing I can think off that causes this weird compression low on my sensor when I'm not laying on it but laying down. I don't know what else to try if I'm being frank.

I don’t use a patch. If it comes off I report to abbot and they replace. Better to have accurate bgs than a sensor that’s attached by a patch and giving compression lows. There’s barely any tape round the outside of libre anyway so can’t see how those would help.

That's great that no patch works for you. But some people just have skin that dosent hold the sensor well, some of us kinda need it, otherwise every sensor would fall put within a few days for me at most. Which at that point why bother having a sensor that has fifteen days on it if I don't get any use out of then and anmconstantly asking for replacements every 1 or 2 days. So yeah. I don't think just don't use a patch would work.

What’s the point of wearing a sensor that’s attached but the means of attaching make it inaccurate?

That's why I'm trying to find a solution that works so that i can still get the full use out of it. So I'm trying different patches. If that doesn't work then I don't know what I'll do to be honest

I get mine if diabetic supply, yes Mibi a bit more expensive but do last the full 14 days. You could try a armband from amazon

I get mine from diabetic supply, yes Mibi a bit more expensive but do last the full 14 days. You could try an arm band like one in picture, Amazon £9.95 you can get different colours

Try a different brand of sensor?
