Blood with free freestyle
Hello good,
I just put my first free freestyle patch and I see that when putting it he has made some blood.
Has someone else happened to this when the patch is placed?
I have cleaned the blood and no longer comes out but I do not know if it is normal or not that this happened.
I await your answers while I protect the patch with a dressing, :-)
Greetings.
At the time of putting it on I saw nothing but when I took it away if there was dried blood under the sensor

To me with the Dexcom has ever happened to me, I suppose that it happens when you click some vein, such as when you inject the insulin, which sometimes does not come out and sometimes a drop of blood.

Do not worry, sometimes it happens because you run with a venilla as Fer says.If you stop working, call Abbott to send you a replacement.

Thank you all for the answers, I stay much quieter.
As for the operation of the free (at least with this first patch), perfect.Values almost equal to capillary glycemia so that at the moment very happy.Hopefully it will last.
It has happened to me with a couple of sensors, put it on and leave a thread of blood through the central part, but then it has not affected the sensor, it has worked normally
