Hi, Tom! I watched your tutorial several times in order to fully understand how to apply the sensor, and it was perfect. It lasted the whole two weeks on the very first try! I came back to watch this tutorial. I can't thank you enough for this information. You are very clear and you break it down so well that it gave me the confidence to get it done. Thanks again!

I also use coconut oil, but I put it on a q-tip and kind of “moosh” the cotton part around the sensor to get a lot of oil under there, and it comes right off. The remaining oil usually is enough to take the remaining adhesive off my skin as well. I’m so happy to have found your channel, as I have been a type 1 for 47 years and you have some amazing tips. Cheers from the US! 😊

Hi Tom! I was about to try and remove my first sensor this evening. Luckily, I found your video before I started. I quickly rushed out and bought some baby oil before the shops closed! Anyway, your method worked perfectly and the removal of the sensor was absolutely painless! Thank you so much for the video and tips! It’s perfect!

Good that’s good news. I love this video when I took my first sensor off, it was stuck on like crazy glue. When I finally got it off I had red spots all over my arm so apparently I ripped some skin off -not fun. I put the second sensor on the other arm because I didn’t want to further damage the first arm. And, I’ve watched a lot of your videos; in addition, to prepare for removal of second sensor, I went out and got baby oil, cotton swabs and alcohol rubs. I already had soap and water. Your videos are wonderful-light hearted makes me laugh a little while I rip the sensors off my arm keep it up. You are a star.🎉🎉

This was absolutely brilliant. I have Type 3c diabetes and my nurse just said use coconut oil. It wasn't until that night that I thought How?? My fingers would be slippery, how would I grip? Your video was absolutely Spot on!! To use a cotton wool ball then allowing it to soak which most certainly would not have occurred to me was excellent. I have a couple of CTDs as well so my skin is tight and dry. I reapplied the coconut oil several times over the ten minutes then gently eased the edges, then pulled. It came off without a second of pain. You are an absolute star for such a superb guide. Thank you so much 😊

Tom, T1D for 36 years. I have the Medtronic 670G (fake panaceas basically) and the sensors were so expensive and the calibrating constantly (only when your stable - yikes) made me high due to stress (cortisol). My doctor put the Libre in my arm at an appointment 14 days ago and I couldn't get it out!! My iPhone told me it was over and then the pain. LOVE your tips. Thank you. I used Moroccan oil (hair care oil) let is soak for 10 min, did it slow. Perfect. Your video saved me!! You are the best. Cheers from America! Wishing you no complications - ever :)

Thanks, I have tried this approach, but I find it easier to remove sensors in the shower. I direct the warm water onto the sensor for a few minutes until I can get my finger nail under the edge. I gradually work my nail all the way around the sensor (slowly as suggested) and the sensor almost falls off. This is also a reason not to stay under the shower too long IF you don’t want to ruin a good sensor!

Man never ever had one fall off or even come loose slightly. Suggest using 90%rubbing alcohol to clean are well for new sensor, let skin to dry for a minute, this removes all skin oils. The apply new sensor, also suggest slightly different location that us still in area libre recomends.

The libre 2 is a life saver for my daughter who was diagnosed with type 1. She said she can deal with the needles and the finger pricks, however taking off the sensor is what she does not look forward to. It is so painful to take off, just like you she has dry skin and the sensor really adheres to her skin. Will definitely try your methods. Fingers crossed.

I really appreciate your video - extremely well done and reassuring. . I need to remove a sensor from my cat - first time she's had it. I've been really worried because cats have sensitive skin and it sticks to fur. Vet said to use alcohol. Somehow oil makes more sense to me. It's gentler on skin and the odor is more pleasant. Think I will use olive oil unless we have coconut, and use a small needless syringe to get the oil well under the sensor.

Now I'm trying to get the sensor off and want to pass out again. My skin is so dry, it's stuck on there really good. The video gives me the same reaction as you. lol I'll give it another try.

Both by a company called Smith&Nephew. One protects the skin from the sensor adhesive and makes it stick better. The other dissolves the adhesive to get it off easily. I also think coconut oil helps to get it off too. I still hesitate applying even though it been over a year for me. I thank God for make a product for chickens like us. Fare well as I know you will.

my husband has a terror of needles too, but donated a kidney to me ( what a guy!) and the process involves so many needles he really helped with his fear. I was also terrified as a child, but needed to do labs weekly when I was in high school and have no fear at all since. My advice is to learn what works for you and be sure to communicate to anyone doing your labs. People have different types of veins, and they can behave differently. Pay attention to comments phlebotomists make and remember them to tell the next. The more you learn, the better job they do and the less pain for you,

Hi, Tom! I found this video after putting on a freestyle Libre 3 for my first time. It looked good when I put it on, but almost immediately, I had blood dripping all over. I needed a quick way to get off the sensor, and the instructions it came with don’t say anything about taking it off or what to do about bleeding. I guess what I’m saying is I needed a faster solution than a five step solution where I would have to go around the house looking for oil.

I have been using the freestyle Libre for 2 weeks now. Doing my first change today. I wanted to ask other people who use the freestyle Libre do you usually put a protective sticky patch on top or do you usually just leave the Libre on its own?

Thank you so much. My first sensor removal I had used the clear patch over it as I was catching the edge of the sensor putting my clothes off and on. That came off with a little work. But yes when I went to remove the sensor, WOW was it stuck. I am glad I watched your video. The baby oil worked great!

Great solutions....another complication of removing the Libre Sensor from dry skin is...."tape burn" where the 1st layer of skin under the adhesive comes off with the sensor O_O" . Will try your Baby Oil solution next time. Thanks for sharing.

Than you for your videos. I am taking off my first sensor right now and it is really stuck. I think your suggestion of soaking it with oil is going to help. Thanks again.

Thank you for the tips. I just started using Libre, so this is my first time trying to get it off ... I am finding that my arms are (for a girl) very hairy.... but it's like that really light colour so you can't tell it's there.... so i'm trying to get it off and it's like pulling. but using baby oil really helped. thank you for the video.

Which is more accurate, the meter or the phone app? My numbers are 10-20 points higher on the app than when I check it with my finger prick.

Hi Tom, I've just removed my first Libre 2 and I can see the soft electrode but there is no sign of the needle that inserted it? I expected it to come out in the same manner as it went in. Do you know what happens with this? Am slightly concerned that it's broken off in my arm! If you or anyone else on here can help, I'd be grateful! Thanks.

The needle that inserts the fiber says in the applicator, It only very quickly pushes the fiber in when you apply the sensor and retracts back into the applicator.
