[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7

[Les Fitzpatrick]

That's why they say to use the over patch that come with the unit. I have
had a really hard time putting those over patches on I have tried putting on
three of them so far with only one success.  The first one went on just fine
but after that I end up destroying the over patch and I called Dexcom about
this problem and they said it is fine to use medical tape on and over it.

Hi, I've been using the G7 for about 2 months now.

I like it.

Wish it stuck on a little better than it does, but I guess you can't have
everything. lol
