Hi I did just do a post however it doesn't appear to have gone on so appologise if this come up twice. My free style libre sensor fell off after 7 days😡 anyone know whether abbot woukd likely replace this? The offices are not open... Any advise on making it stay there??? Woukd micro tape over the top be ok?? Didn't think would have a problem as seemed pretty stuck so was quite suprised! I use the bath so never submerged it and I do not sweat! Hardly ever. Am concerned about summer though now. Might be rather unsightly with a load of tape on it with vest tops! Wish could use stomach instead like my cgm. Anyone tried anywhere else other than arm?

Give the company a ring on Tues morning and tell them the sensor fell off after 7 day's. They will replace it for you 🙂

Some people use an overdressing like Opsite Flexifix or tegaderm to secure sensors. I have not needed to and they have mostly been very firmly stuck through the 14 days. Only one (I think) needed a little over-taping.
I shall def give them a call. I hope they do. Yes was super dry. Was quite suprised as the dexcom sticker can sometimes need taping but this sensor seemed to be super sticky. I will try those other tapes next time just in case. I was maybe just very unlucky. 🙄
