I share my favorite tips, tricks, and hacks on how to make your Freestyle Libre sensor stick and stay on for the full 2 weeks. These apply to both Libre 1 and Libre 2. I also talk about how to improve accuracy of the sensor readings on the first day. Specifically, I talk about places where your sensor is most likely to get ripped out and how to avoid it, different kinds of sensor tapes, patches, and protection (including extra adhesive). 2020 UPDATE - MY FAVORITE PATCHES RIGHT NOW: SKIN GRIP - 10% affiliate discount link theskingrip.com?ref:typeonetalks Discount code: typeonetalks Thank you very much for watching!
