[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 Woes...

[Les Fitzpatrick]

I put my G7 sensor on either my right or left thigh just below the bottom of
my pocket where anything I put in my pocket won't get against it.  That
seems to work pretty well I've only ripped one off as opposed to several on
my arm.

Good day Burn,

I have found that placing the G7 sensor about the middle of your tummy and
about 1 inch away from your belly button is the best place. I also rotate
from side to side each time I change my sensor.

I'm not sure if you are placing your sensor like I have. Hopefully you will
be able to find a good spot where the sensor will stay in place, if not I
suggest you talk with your doctor or diabetes educator.

Good Morning Everyone!!

Not sure if anyone else out there is having this trouble. If so, what is
there to do about it? Seems no matter what I  do, I can't get the sensors to
stay on my arms. With or without the "overlay" patches?
Those things are a  crock! I've even tried ordering from Amazon and so help
me, there's no hope!!! After going through three sensors between Yesterday
afternoon and 5;:00 AM this morning, I  got desperate and put it back on my
belly where I  put the G6's. So far, so good--knock on wood, LOL!!
Suggestions?

Bern
