Fix Freestyle Libre: It's that easy

Especially in summer when bathing or sweating during sports, the Freestyle Libre does not always hold up reliably. To additionally fix the sensor on the arm, you can use a few tricks.

• The easiest way is with some kinesio tape. Despite the adhesive, the tape is breathable and is now also available for a few euros in the drugstore. Depending on how often the tape comes into contact with water, it lasts up to seven days.
• At Diasticker.de you will find the Kinesio tape cut in many variants. For children you can also cut the tape yourself in playful shapes. Among other things, a cat or skull look is possible.
• If you don't want to stick the tape to your skin all the time, you can use adhesive bandages. These only stick to themselves and not to the skin.
• The Librefix bracelet offers a more attractive version. It is a holder for the Freestyle Libre with an elastic rubber band.
