[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 Woes...

[Mark Feliz]

Hello Burn, ensure that you are cleaning the application site very
well with alcohol and cotton swab. I use this instead of the alcohol
wipes because I find that the wipes do not have enough alcohol in
order to clear the oils from my skin. I also gentally press the
sensory in place for about two minutes, allowing time for my body
temperature to warm the adhesive.
