Is it possible to reinsert the FreeStyle Libre sensor if it falls off? Has anyone tried it?

If your FreeStyle Libre sensor falls off, you may be wondering if it is possible to reinsert it. The answer is yes, it is possible to reinsert the sensor, but it is not recommended.

The FreeStyle Libre sensor is a small, round device that is inserted into the skin. It measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid and sends the data to a reader. The sensor is designed to stay in place for up to 14 days.

If the sensor falls off, it is important to reinsert it as soon as possible. The sooner the sensor is reinserted, the less likely it is that you will experience any problems.

To reinsert the sensor, follow these steps:

1. Clean the area around the insertion site with an alcohol swab.
2. Remove the backing from the new sensor.
3. Apply the sensor to the insertion site.
4. Press down on the sensor for 3 seconds.

The sensor should now be reinserted. You may experience some discomfort when you reinsert the sensor. This is normal and should go away after a few minutes.

If you experience any problems when you reinsert the sensor, such as pain, bleeding, or swelling, you should remove the sensor and contact your doctor.
