She most likely is referring to the actual pump and the receiver for the decks calm and not the sensor and infusion sets. When I went through training for the Dexcom, they told me to never have the sensor less than 3 inches from the infusion set. I was also told to only wear it on my abdomen, but I understand others have been given approval to wear it on their arms. For my insulin pump infusion set, I rotate mine between my thighs, my abdomen and my backside.
