Is it necessary to apply a Sensor in a different location if I feel discomfort or in case of a mis-application?

Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose. If you have symptoms that do not match the Sensor glucose reading or suspect that your reading may be inaccurate, check the reading by conducting a finger stick test using a blood glucose meter. If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your glucose readings, consult your health care professional.

Is it necessary to apply a Sensor in a different location if I feel discomfort or in case of a mis-application?

To prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should select a different site other than the one most recently used. The FreeStyle Libre sensor should be applied to the back of the upper arm. No other site is indicated for application.¹
