Hello good!
I would like to know your opinion about whether it is advisable to protect the freestyle sensor or not.I take an additional glue on the skin before applying the sensor but I don't know if it will be enough ... especially with three young children who hang you and grab the first they see.
And in case of protecting it, any recommendation for dressing, bandage, fat shown?

All the best!

@tone7 Hello.I didn't know there was a special glue for the sensor.What I do use is a dressing that they recommended here: the 8x10 leukomed t plus.With him, I have never had any take -off problems.

Yeah!Use Skin Tac Wipe and it's going very well.
Well, I will see that Leukomed dressing.What I read is that the sensor must "breathe."That should not be fully covered.

Greetings and thanks for the recommendation!

I've put a bracelet now that I have put it on my arm.
At the moment 14 days ago and super comfortable.
I also have 2 little ones and although I sometimes take them in my arms, they already know that they have to be careful and do not touch it.
From BB insulin, needles etc. see it as something very normal and respect it a lot.
They are 3 -year -old twin

I use hypoallergenic 5cm wide cordrapo because I carry the sensor in the buttock and I'm afraid to go a day with a hurry and when dressing it took it with pants.

Now I do not wear tape and how it sticks a lot, it goes without problems.In fact, it hits so much that it costs to remove it.Free 1 fell with a sigh.

Lada enero 2015.
