Strong sensor adhesion starts with clean, dry skin and correct sensor application

Sensors stick better when you wash, clean and dry your skin before application

1. Wash

Only use non-moisturising, fragrance-free soaps to wash the area where you will apply the sensor.

2. Clean

Use an alcohol wipe to clean the site and then allow skin to air dry (do not blow on it).

3. Dry

Allow your skin to fully dry before applying the sensor. This is especially important if you plan to apply the sensor after you shower or swim

Before you apply the sensor:

• Do not use body lotion or sunscreen where you’ll apply the sensor, as they may leave an oily residue on your skin
• Body hair can interfere with sensor adhesion. Choose an area with the least hair or consider shaving the site.

This video is a must-watch for all FreeStyle Libre 2 users.

Watch this short video to learn how to correctly prepare and apply your sensor. It includes essential tips for everyone, even for the most experienced users.

Did you know?

When pushing the sensor down onto the sensor pack, this must be done firmly on a flat surface for proper sensor connection.

Tips to keep your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor in place

Pat dry

After a shower or swim, take extra care when towelling off to avoid catching or pulling off your sensor.

Slow down

When dressing or undressing, take care to avoid catching your clothing on the sensor.

Dress for success

Give your sensor room to breathe by wearing loose clothing. Or go sleeveless and #WearItProud!

Easy does it

Be careful not to catch your sensor on a doorway, car door, seat belt or furniture edges.

Contact sports and heavy exercise

Select a site on the back of your upper arm that will minimise the risk of knock off.

Hands off

Try not to play, pull, or touch the sensor while wearing it.

Need additional support to help your sensor stick?

You can over-bandage the sensor with a medical-grade adhesive or tape. The hole in the centre of the sensor must not be covered, so you may need to cut a hole in your over‑bandage material. Only remove the over-bandage when removing the sensor too.
