Abbott Freestyle Libre new user: hints please (reddthat.com)

Dear all

Just ordered my (first) trial Freestyle Libre attachment! I understand it's a v2 (flash) not a v3 (CGM). I don't think that they send v3 as trials.

Can I have any hints for anyone who has never used anything like that, please.

I think I saw that people use a bandage like thing to help keep it on, but hints about simple things like where to put it and showering/bathing would also be appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.
