Freestyle Libre - Allergic Reaction

After using the 14 day sensors recently I had the same reactions as mentioned above. Swelling…Blistering…Etc…I decided to get a little creative and use a piece of Green Frog tape as a base for the sensor to attach to. I did not pre-cut any holes and used the applicator to install the sensor directly on to the frog tape…I followed the MFG recommendations for installation just used the frog tape as an insulator… I then placed a (7day) Clear waterproof Bandage over the sensor. During the day I wear a small Ace bandage around my arm to protect all the items…It’s been working great. No reactions or itching.,Best of all no finger sticks!
