Hi all,

we’ve been using a libre on Joey consistently every two weeks since April. The vet puts the libre on each time and at times Joey has recently ripped them off despite him always having a onesie on to prevent this.
His skin has recently become irritated where libres were previously put on.
Joey recently has had much improved blood glucose levels in recent weeks much due to the SLGS protocol we learned about from this group. My husband and I are torn between continuing to use a libre on Joey so we are more easily able to apply SLGS and adjust his insulin levels appropriately with giving his skin a break.
Wanted to see if anyone here has experienced something similar.
 
I use a Libre on my baby when I go our of town and someone is watching her. They don't feel comfortable testing her blood. She always seems to find a way to pull them off and take her skin with it. It took me 4 years to get brave enough to test her glucose manually, but now is a piece of cake.
