Free freestyle patch is taken ... What to do?Has Abbott lowered quality?

DiabetesForo's profile photo   06/16/2022 8:26 p.m.

Hello good,

I have been using the free for 5 years and they never took off in 2 months, 3 patches were already taken off, it must be that the quality is going down, someone could inform me that you can get on the patch so that it does not take off, I think they sold some apostitesIn the pharmacy but I don't know what they are called and if they are fine

Thank you!

You can put on trimmed physio tape, it's what I wear.Now I bought transparent patches at Aliexpress and they have also done well.What I don't like is that the sensor looks like dirty when transparent.I have also bought other meat color and I will try it now that I have to change the sensor.
Anyway, call Abbot to replace them, it happened to me once and they sent me another.

I understand that it does not bite you on the skin or anything like that ??I tried a tape on one occasion and at 3 hours the skin chopped

Well look, nothing, perfect.But only once I put on the sensor in the culete and there I couldn't stand the tape, it stung me to rage.Very rare when in the arm it goes perfect ...

I have been diagnosed for a short time and three sensors, as they have already said in the thread, what is best for me is the kinesiological tape (5x5) that I bought on Amazon although a little expensive, in Aliexpress comes in half, I have asked there toSee if it gives the same result.
The tape lasts the 14 days, on top of the sensor, I trim the corners and if any rises, I cut it.

If I try to ask for Amazon and put that in my direction they did not make that delivery, I do not know why they had to buy another that were cut in 25x5 cm enfin

It has also begun to happen to me that 2 or 3 months ago they take off more than before ... one of two, or it is because of sweat due to heat, or as @antonimar seems that Abbott has dropped the quality of theSensors

@Fer

Hi Fer, I can't tell you about Nobecuta.I regularly use Skin Tac.I buy it on Amazon.I use it more to protect the skin, but the adhesion of the sensor increases greatly.

Ah, I get a glove in the hands of those cheap, because the Skin Tac is very sticky.Just before putting on the sensor, rub the skin tac well in the area, I tell about 30 seconds and put the sensor.You have to remove the applicator carefully because the edges are very close to the skin.The effect of the Skin Tac is very immediate.Protects the skin and increases adhesion.It works very well.But each skin is a world!

All the best

@Antonimar to me were recommended here leukoplast waterproof (8x10 cm) and that is what I use since then.I am doing very well, it does not give me allergy, it does not take off and it lasts the 14 days.

I believed that it took easy sweating and such, but nothing at all and work in a warehouse that is an oven and throwing packages on piecework and does not take off, if you have a sweat with acid pH, it may take it more easily

Well, I can't get it off, just the other way around.He hits a lot, a long time ago, I don't protect it.
I remove the glue with removal.I tried oil and impossible oil and wipes.

And I hurt me when they start them.Of course, first I rub with alcohol that removes all the fat and then sticks like a bass ...

For me it is more difficult and painful to start the old sensor than to nail the new one.In fact I keep the sensor in my hand and the adhesive sheet attached to the skin.
I have been on the beach 4 days, bathing with good waves, the sensor under the bikini panties without protecting with tape and there is, so camping.
