Tegaderm Fail

Well, I had a major failure with the tegaderm plan: after walking to work, the tegaderm the sensor was on fell off.  I think that was partially because everything was too high on my arm (it seemed to be in a spot where the muscle moves a lot).  On the plus side, even though the Freestyle Libre sensor was only on my arm for maybe half a day, the skin underneath seemed fine. So I think the next thing I'm going to try is putting the sensor on a piece of tegaderm then cutting the tegaderm so it's a little bigger than the sensor.  I'll secure it all with a second piece of tegaderm over top (with a hole punched for the top of the sensor..

I'm going to wait to try this though until I hear back from my diabetes nurse; I emailed her about this plan last night and want to see what she says.
