The Dexcom app is Dexcom and whatever version you have. So, if the G6, you
would search Dexcom G6 in the app store for IOS.

Typically, you wear Dexcom on the tummy somewhere. I rotate around from
obliques to closer to the middle, upper and lower quadrants for both. If
using the G6, you wear it for 10 days. If the G5, it's 7 days. You replace
the sensor and reattach the transmitter. The transmitter lasts 3 months.

The overlay patch is a Dexcom product. It covers the sensor with a hole in
the middle to accommodate the transmitter. You just call tech support and
request the overlay patches, and there's no charge for Dexcom customers.
These patches help keep the sensor in place.

We are both visually impaired in our household and use Amazon every day. It
does present some challenges but is useable by visually impaired. Perhaps
someone in your state can assist with training. 

Are you speaking about the Freestyle libre? The Patches I get are sold by
Amazon and made by a company called SimPatch.

Waterproof Patches I find come from CVS pharmacy. Perhaps other pharmacies
sell them as well.

The app you download comes from the App store (I have IOS), and is called
Librelink. 

If you want Dexcom info, ask those users to post on the list.

Hello can anyone tell me how many patches there are?  What is the
application you down load to your I phone, please explain steps.

Where do you get water proof patches and what is the name of them. Amazon is
too hard to use for visually impaired people. Angela Perone
