Hello 👋... Thank you for answering my question. I will definitely do that when I apply the sensor for the meter. That is great advice 👍.

Prep is key - use a couple of alcohol wipes to make sure there is no skin oil, soap residue, hair conditioner - anything on your skin

Once you push the applicator on the sensor I always kinda press it to the skin making sure it's "stuck" all the way around

But if despite your best efforts you still find that it comes loose there is a kinda bandaid patch can go over them

There is thousands of designs - here's a pic of what I'm talking about

Make sure the area is clean and dry before you place the sensor. Ideally you have someone to help you place the sensor
