[Diabetes-Talk] Libre CGM sensor bruising

[Tony May]

I really hate that when someone grabs my arm without asking and assuming they are doing their good deed for the day and helping me navigate something.

I've never looked for bands, I use the Fixic adhesive covers.  I'll have to take a look.

Take care,  
Tony
