[Diabetes-Talk] Some basic Libre 3 Questions

[gmelconian619 at gmail.com]

I would recommend to  get overlay patchs as the libre 3 sensors ar a bit small.  That  would be something to have and that  way the sensor will stay and wont fall off your arm. I have had a few in the past fall off.but after using the  overlay patchs, they stay on for the full 14 days.  You can find them on amazon.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Some basic Libre 3 Questions

Hi, all.  My sister has offered to get me the first month of use with a Libre 3 system.  I'm totally excited about this, but I do have a couple of questions.


Firstly, I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.  How well does the Libre 3 work?  The information on the Freestyle Libre page says to enable notifications for Standby mode and to not use Assistive touch.  I use neither of these, so I don't think it will be a problem.


Also, how well do the sensors stay once applied?  My sister has had her Libre for several weeks and hasn't had any issues with her sensors coming off, though she did warn me that drying off the area where the sensor is could cause it to come off.


How have your experiences been with the Libre and an iPhone with VO and do the sensors stay on, or do I need to get something to put on top of them so they will stick?


Thanks in advance.


Lisa
