I hope "Libre drivers" don't bear the brunt of the new mobile phone laws

Correction! Sorry I switched from the libre to dexcom some time ago and I forgot to say that you need to buy a Nightrider adapter from a company called Blucon to convert the libre to operate as a bluetooth connected cgm so you can run xDrip+ as mentioned above.

You can also use Miao Miao with XDrip
 
The goverment,DVLA & police etc will alway's find new ways to "fine" drivers on the road because it makes lots and lots of money for them and the corrupt system we have to abide by....I wouldn't mind if they fill in the countless holes that we have to drive over day in day out or replace road markings etc which cause countless accidents and insurance claims etc etc....all boils down to 1 thing.....more money from the taxpayer.....
I've just started with the libre machine and I think it's a very good piece of kit but it could do with wireless and Bluetooth tech added to it...it is 2020 isn't it ?
I'm finding that protecting the sensor on my arm is very very difficult, I'm a joiner in the construction industry and also a body builder for my sins lol......I've had to purchase Tegaderm 9cm x 10cm patches to help with the showering and "knock" factors as the adesive tape on the sensor is minute to be honest and it peels away if knocked....
My Pre sensor application consists of this....
Clean area thoroughly. ....
Shave area with new razor to remove any hair....
Clean area again with aapri facial scrub.....
Rinse thoroughly. ...
Apply alcohol wipe to area.....
Apply sensor. ....
Still starts to peel away after a while...more or less 4-5 days from application .....
Any other active ,diabetic Type 1 people out there who use the libre machine....I'm all ears

I knocked a couple of sensors of then i tried putting them on my chest and it works great and it is out of the way i don't have to use tape ether .
