[Diabetes-Talk] Best Sensor Placement

[jamielgurganus at gmail.com]

Michael,

     I only place my sensor on my abdomen.  I don't have issues with it coming off very often.  If some of the tape starts to lift, I put a bandaid over it.  Like Bridget said, you can call tech support and ask for the overlays.  I've never used them, but I understand they are very helpful.  Also, I thought the sensor could only be placed in the abdomen.  I know the new Libre is only to be placed on the arm, and I thought the Dexcom was only to be placed in the abdomen.

Cordially,
Michael D. BarberOkay, so now I’m getting very frustrated.  I have placed the DexCom G6 on various places on my upper arm and now just below the rib cage, but no matter how hard I try, the thing gets wet or somehow gets bumped and displaced, which means another  sensor.  Has anyone ever thought of the top of the thigh?  And what do you call those extra strips you can get to hold this confounded thing on anyway?
