Hello,

I have been wearing it on my arms for the last few sensor changes. I have been having much better luck with readings and the sensor stays on very well on the arm.

I called Dexcom before moving the sensor to my arm and the tech told me that I can wear it on my arm but only if my Doctor recommends it as it isn’t permitted to be worn on the arm by the FDA without consulting a doctor first.
