[Diabetes-Talk] Libre CGM sensor bruising

Pull out the sensor gently, then clean with a alcohol swab and it wont happen at all then take a good warm water wash with a good boddy wash and things  will be back to normal in a few days .

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Libre CGM sensor bruising

 

I have been using the Libre for over a year and love it. Lately, however, I have either had the sensor stop working before the 14 days or not work at all. The strange thing besides that, however, is that when I withdraw it, I get a lump on my underarm that can sometimes be as large as a small plumb, hard, take weeks to disappear. When I remove the sensor, I gently pull straight out. Any thoughts about all of this?
