Ed, I do the same I tend to place in different sections of my arms rotating from one arm to the next .also you can place it on other places of  the body as well. I know that  they dont tell you this but there is a you tuber on youtube who has been a long term user of libre senssors and he has figured out the  best places to  place libre senssors  as well.

Hi Gary,

I have occasionally had bruising when using the Freestyle Libre, but my sense is that this has more to do with the application than it does the removal.  I try and have a couple of places on each arm when I apply it, so that the area in question gets more than a two week break.

I get itching/mild soreness when the censor is on when it bruises, and don’t when it doesn’t.

I don’t pull it straight up to remove it though, I peel it off. It's a soft needle so I find this method works best.

Cheers,

Ed
