SkinTac.
I NEED IT during the sumer months. There's probably other skin adhesives but SkinTac is what I use. I use the bottle, which lasts an eternity - http://www.amazon.com/Skin-tac-adh-oz-Skin-Tac-H/dp/B001LZUWP6/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_img_z
But there are also wipes - http://www.amazon.com/Skin-Tac-H-Adhesive-Barrier-Wipes-50/dp/B000QF81M8
I'm afraid I'm not much help with the bleed problem. Have you tried wearing the sensor in an alternate site from the abdomen? There is a lot of movement in the torso area even with out a good jog. I like to wear mine in the back of my arm, I find that it sticks on longer and is more accurate there.
I like to use Skin Tac to get it to stick after the edges start rolling up. I know as far as tape goes there is a kind that's very popular around here, I can't recall the name but I'm sure someone will comment with it :)
Edit: The tape a lot of people seem to like is OpSite Flexifix. I've never tried it since I prefer as little space on my skin covered as possible, but different things work for different people!
I use this skin-tac, and these for even more holding power. You may want to get the skin-tac wipes though, I think they'd work better depending on your situation.
I've seen others say you can just add insulin to the cartridge, and the tslim will just stay at whatever level it was until you drop back down to that level again. ex. you're at 50u, add 50u, Tslim says 50u until you use up the 50u you added, and then continues down afterwards.
Also, I've found that when the Tslim says the cartirdge is empty, there's still around 10-20 units left in it. I usually pull that out with a syringe even when I'm changing cartridges .
I get it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001LZUWP6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4/178-9838080-7396332?qid=1406303308&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
These two products are the most commonly recommended for adhesive issues:
Flexifit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015TI2ZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Skin Tac: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LZUWP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: I bought both when I went on the Ominpod and Dexcom but have yet to need each so I can't vouch for their effectiveness personally.
Is there a retailer in EU that sells it? All the sellers in Amazon are dealing it from US, having crazy long delivery times and prices between 45-60 euros per bottle.
