My last two libres have not stuck well at all. I use the under patches and the stickers that fo around too and it's just not staying put.

Is there anything I can use to try and hold it down? My last one came off after a week but had barely been holding on. This replacement has only been on a day and is already coming off.
 
Hi Becky , I always wash and dry my arm , then wipe the area with an alcohol wipe, let it dry then put the sensor on. Mine stick like limpets and need prising off after 14 days.
There are armbands available on Amazon/ eBay which hold them on too.
Kind regards
Martin
 
Same as Martin above, clean with alcohol wipes or surgical spirit beforehand then allow to dry before application, since using sensors only ever had 2 come unstuck & that's some time ago.
