I send to modify my neoprene bracelet and add velcro or abrojo to cover My Dexcom. In the pool as in the sea zero problems. And with the curious much less, before using it all the time they asked me why I carry the sensor?That if they had operated and others. With this issue solved. There I put a nice shield.
@sigsauer, because you tell us how the coompeed is doing, and so we have another option.And as you say, there have been many problems and they have said that they changed the adhesive, which I do not know if those who are sending now go with the new adhesive. @Rutbia, because in the end it turns out that it will not be a coincidence that we get a good sensor, the same works best in the buttock, we are already a few who think the same.The one that my daughter is now in the buttock coincides in almost all measurements, the maximum that has varied has been 10 in some, today for example, 68 capillary and 68 sensor rise, and so many more and because I do not finish trusting me,If not, we could have saved all the capillaries.We have four days left, to see if with a little luck the next one works equally well.

Rocio Your daughter carries Dexcom truth, so you comment is very good with the sensor in gluteo. I have thought about it and maybe the next one put it there. Tell me if it does not bother you to sleep walking etc, I have noticed that when I sleep on it the results vary in 25 mg/dl at night. It is advisable to put it in gluteo at the height of the waist or where it is not discomfort to tell me that. Thanks greetings
Sorry @Afterego, my daughter carries the free. But in case it serves you the same, because I think the Dexcom stands out something else, it carries it in the upper part, just for the bikini to cover it.It does not bother him at all, and that does not stop for a second.I had a photo, but I can't find it, by magic I have disappeared from the mobile, well because of the magic of my daughter's hands ...: -S to see if I do another and I pass it to you.

I found it @Afterego. This was the first one that led, if you look where you can see it.We go for the third and take it a little more towards the center to completely cover the bikini.

I think that for what you comment, I will all try the next sensor again, the same was the one that I put on, that I failed because I did not know ... that in the thigh it goes more or less, but I see better edction glute

P.S.Let's see if someone who uses in Dexcom there and has given good results
@Gemater I take it as Rocio's daughter, maybe a little more made the center of the buttock, but almost raised from the edge of the panty and measures me quite well, at most 5mg/dl of difference. It does not bother to sleep, with pants or in the showers or anything.I have covered it with an adhesive and I do not worry that it will fall because there it is more difficult to take a door or something that makes it jump.
@imara yesterday I saw on Facebook in the freestyle group to a person who has happened to you with the sensor.I was looking for a solution and the comments were all that Abbott replaced it for another sending the photos.In case it serves you.
@Ruthia, the latter we have also put it more towards the center, and it is the one that is best working for all .... last night capillary 68 and free 68, this morning 62 one and 63 another, and that normally before hip orHiper was when the differences were greater.We have three days left, we will see if the next one works equally well or has been a coincidence.
@Rociollinares to me both of the buttock that I have set the same as the capillary and always close to the center where there is more fat.What I do is alternate the buttock but I will put them consecutive, in row one after another and changing gluteus when it reaches the end of the line, thus not necrous the area. I think the quick is that there is fat in addition to the glucose being stable at calibration time.
@Afégo I advise you that for Dexcom themes you put it in the dexcom G4 thread not in this. I have put the sensor in belly, rear (just the sensor below the belt), twin (leg) and arm. I am not worried that they see me or do not see me, I change the site depending on the duration. In the belly it was where less than two weeks lasted less. In the rear almost three weeks, but be careful there for the subject of sleeping back and pressing the sensor, it is not known why but many times the levels varied when pressing it. In the twin on the leg two weeks, perhaps I had to have tried in another leg, but it gave me respect, I did not bothered me or anything, the very good calibrations but when doing so much sport and hardening the twin gave me respect. In the arm four weeks on average almost always, some can fall for 3.5 weeks.Since I use Skin Tac and the Hypafix aposty the duration is going 4 weeks older. But as I tell you, he directs Dexcom G4 thread.

I did not plan to cover it the truth, but with the heat it has not hit very well, total that I have taken the adhesive bandage that I had at the flesh -colored house and it looks very good.
It is very resistant to water and sticks very well, having 5cm width is perfect to cover the patch, it is not something to remove and put, but it endures the 15 days well, it also does not produce red and anything, I use it for a long time forA doll sprain and lasted a month on me without problems.
I leave you a photo for you to see what it is, they sell it in the pharmacy for € 15 but online I have seen it for € 4, and how it is not for its main use because with that of € 4 I believe that Valdra.

I do not know if it has already been commented, but there is a website that is a patches specialist for all types of devices (free freestyle, dexcom, minimed, etc ...), I have bought and they have worked well, here I leave the link to you:

Good colleagues!In relation to what you write "Jconegar", how does the patch last 3 and 4 weeks ???If it only works 14 days?Are there with more duration?
