Hi
I started using this a week ago, but have had to remove it as it was causing great irritation and discomfort to my arm. Have any other users had this problem?
thanks
 
Sometimes it gets itchy around the edges of the sensor but nothing too bad. I have heard of others having the same problem though and they put a compeed heel blister plaster on there arm first and then put the sensor on top.of that. I think I heard the adhesive had been changed on the sensor which some people have had issues with.
 
it really ought not to but some could be prone I guess, keep the area clean and washed and use the anti septic wipes every replacement time provided and ensure fully dry before attaching next one.
