Hi, does anyone know if it's ok or not to wear a FreeStyle Libre2 Sensor (diabetics) when having an ECG? Much appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hi Brocc

I've had numerous ECG tests recently and have had no problems with the Libre 2 sensors, they are quite robust and do not affect the ECG. Even had a CT scan with a sensor on with no issues. The only time I have had to remove one is going into a cardiac MRI scan, understandably.

Hope you get some good results, all the best.

Hi Saruman, Thank you Sooo much for taking the time to reply & for sharing your experiences, Very Much Appreciated. The Sensor will stay until said otherwise.

Stay as well as you can

Type 1 here - not on the Libre but on the Dexcom , not had to remove mine for an ECG but at my GP surgery have to move my phone to a different part of the room , (sometimes have to do it with my pump too) but its only for a matter of a minute and never had to physically remove sensor or pump.
