Is the Libre sensor water proof?

novorapidboi26,
From the freestyle website:
Sensor water resistance IP27: Can withstand immersion into one metre (3 ft) of water for up to 30 minutes
https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/freestyle-libre-sensor-kit-en-gb-es.html
I've had baths/showers with it on, but not been swimming yet, holiday next week will be a good test 
I honestly think they should be on NHS, I forgot to order new one quick enough and feel lost without it at the moment, HbA1c gone from 7.9 to 6.7, purely due to seeing that I was running high overnight. I also feel happier running lower as I know the trend, if I test and am 4, I don't know if I'm going up or down based on this, but with Libre I get an arrow to tell me.
Hope this helps.
Phil
