| Sensor on my arm + tegaderm |
I also got the box of tegaderm that I ordered from Amazon today. So I put a piece of tegaderm over top of the new sensor (more accurately my mom put a piece of tegaderm over the new sensor - I would never have been able to put it on myself).
I didn't realize just how much I rely on my Libre now until I was forced to go without it. The last few days have been kind of horrible not having it. I found myself having to force myself to do glucose - it just seemed like so much effort having to pull out my glucometer and do a test, especially when I was at work or out walking. The last time I felt like this was when my insulin pump died and I had to go back to injections for a few days. I actually had a really hard time getting through the hour long warm up period because I was so impatient to get the new sensor working again! These last few days have really showed me just how amazing and life changing the Libre really is. :)
So now that I've got it paired with tegaderm, I'm hoping I can enjoy some more activity with my Libre! I've got plans to go swimming again this weekend, so we'll see how well the sensor holds up now!
