Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and diabetic for 3 years (I'm 29).I have been reading this topic because I am having problems with the last 3-4 sensors of the Freestyle Libre 2, when I have never had any problems with them.I just put on one from a different batch, let's see if that's what it is, if not, I would value what some colleagues are saying about changing it.For people who do not wear it on the back of the arm, is it annoying or cumbersome to wear it on the thighs, chest or buttocks?Do you sleep well?On a day-to-day basis, do you notice a difference with respect to your arm?


Thank you very much in advance.

@JoseRamon, don't be upset, many of them are factory errors, Abbott has lowered the quality and they measure well below the real blood glucose level.Said by my endocrine.

I've had them on my glute for 10 years and they don't give me reading problems.In the buttock it can measure a little above the real value, so in my case I compensate a little.

Hello @JoseRamon,

I use Dexcom One +, I usually wear them on the inner thigh and the values ​​are accurate.It doesn't bother, it's more discreet than on the arm, and I don't put pressure on them when sleeping (I sleep on my side).

I don't see wearing them on the chest or buttocks, but in the end each person has to find the location that suits them best.By trying you don't lose anything.


LADA 2022. Inicio insulina Abril 2025.

Dexcom One+
Glicosilada: 4.9
