My daughter wore an dump, without more, with a piece of gauze on the sensor so that she does not stick and avoid taking it without wanting to change it.Now carries Miaomiao, attached and subject with an elastic band and a plastic support that takes sensor and myomiao together.

You can reinforce the kinesiotope tape, putting Nobecuta Spray, Cavilon or Skin Tac liquid before placing the tape;With the liquid Kin Tac before pasteing the kinesiotope will last you for 14 days 95% of the time.-

@meginer

Put on Kinesio's tape only if you really see that the sensor begins to take off in some area.The tapes may not endure 15 whole days.Well I don't really think they endure.

Cut with a scissors the corners of the kinesio tape so that they are rounded.

I have only needed them when they had left the sensor for a few days, but I have never put them from day one.

I put it from the first day, I do not like surprises doing sports, in the shower or in the pool without counting the work, sleeping in bed or lying on the couch .. it is better to prevent it from having to be without a sensor in aComplicated moment.-

It depends on where I get it lasts more or less, I tell you with liquid skin tac before the kinesiotope I last 14 days well, anyway if you take off the kinesiotope a little you will not take the sensor, you cut anotherpiece and you hit it on the first piece even a third if necessary, the reader or phone will read the sensor without problems ...

If it uses something, I use Transparent Fixomull and goes pretty good.Hold and protect the sensor since it prevents it from getting wet and keeps it well subject to the skin.Being transparent is quite discreet.What it does not stand is a good blow with door or similar but I imagine that will happen in the same way with anything else.
It lasts 14 days perfectly.
I also wear Skin Tac (in wipes) on my skin before putting the sensor.
All this can be bought in Diabetika.
When I do sports (in my case it is a sport of racket/shovel) I put on the sensor and on the arm a wrist that makes during the game well held and protected, especially when I carry the sensor in the right arm, avoidingfortuitous blows.

I try the fixomull, but to protect my sensor skin.It was perfectly stuck the 14 days.And it is very fine.In fact, once the sensor was removed and after a few days I realized that I still had the fixomull on!

The Skin Tac in Tallitas I use it now, to protect the skin and increase adhesion.I bought it at the Amazon Store.

Skin Tac Liquid cost me enough to get it, in Amazon most of the pages that sell it are from the United States but do not send this type of products although the first boat that I had sent me from there.- The last time I bought it in a storeOf "aesthetics" of the United Kingdom, I do not remember without Amazon or on eBay but I already tell you that it cost me enough to get the boat.-

I have not tried the wipes but the Skin Tac Liquid can last perfectly more than 1 year (I stay short) if you use it well and do not dry or fall.

@meginer

To do sports, maybe this I have seen in the Amazon Store serves you.I hope the photos look good.I have not used it, but it seems good.Although I imagine that the most complicated thing is to take the arm size well,

All the best

@jldiazdel with the 1st bracelet where the sensor goes there are many people who to the minimum movement moves the sensor even 0.5 mm, the filament moves a bit and begins to give errors or erroneous readings.-

Yes, I don't like it a lot, for the moment I've been with a Diabétika patch for three days and I have not taken off with the exercise or shower.TB I bought a kinesiological tape that I have saved.We'll see how it goes.

For the door or backpack it is best to put the sensor in the buttock or inside of the thigh.
I use tape and lasts 14 days and much more.I bathe, shower and do sports with him.
It depends on the scripting mark.

Uso Toujeo y Novorapid.

Ruthbia, from MTO I cannot try in the buttock PQ we are still in the first sessions in the hospital with the first four financed sensors, and you have to do it as the house says, Cdo tells us how they will do it, if you are going toPut on the health card like medicines, or you have to go to the hospital for them every six months or whatever (they still don't know), maybe try.But I'm not sure, I don't know, it doesn't happen to you that when you get the jeans for you, I can go?, I don't have so clear that it is safer.
