Just attached my first Libre in almost a year. Gave it up last winter as the cost was a concern with Christmas coming up. Was intending to continue in the New Year but as some of you know I have problems with my shoulders, especially the right one, which was so bad there was no way I could reach and scan my left arm. Anyways things are looking up so decided to go for it again, put it on my right arm first to give my shoulder a couple more weeks to get moving. Think it should be ok, may have to make like a contortionist sometimes! Looking forward to giving my poor finger ends a rest! :D
 
Hope things go well with it 🙂 I have some restriction on my right shoulder after breaking my arm in a fall 20 years ago, and it makes it difficult for me to scan my left arm, although not to the extent you are faced with, I hope you manage OK 🙂 I think there are some 'alternative sites' possible that some people use, if necessary (thighs, bum), but not sure I'd like to risk it, given the cost.
 
Well done you & good luck 🙂. A good tool for the fight against the big "D" 😎
